@dakodaherbals: Ancient Babylonians used this to fight demons! Russian soldiers used it to survive dysentery AND defeated modern weed killer. It's a tiny roadside weed called fleabane and I cannot stop thinking about it! While the native North America fleabane is amazing, the European fleabane is the one famous for curing a Russian Army of dysentery! #fleabane #botany #folklore #ethnobotony #herbalmedicine
Fleabane being glyphosate resistant is pretty much the only thing that gives me hope anymore

I’m from Cuba 🇨🇺 in African-Cuban beliefs it’s use in (omiero) spiritual waters to cast away all kind of negativities, but also for health and protection. Fleabane, in this tradition, belongs to the Yoruban god Asojuano which was syncretized with Catholic Saint Lazaro 🥰

She’s growing in the small garden spot under my window right now. (Along with Pokeweed.) They volunteered while I was overseas, and I just can’t bear to cut them.

So many wild flowers that are considered “weeds” are actually super useful

My parents called it bitter weed. I know that dairy farmers hate it. If dairy cows eat it the milk tastes really bad.

I purposely try to get this to grow in my garden and it just doesn’t thrive, yet I see yards that seem, ahem, neglected, completely filled with it.😫

I have a theory that God made “weeds” un-killable because of the wonderful healing properties. It’s a flower, why would we consider a flower a weed? The name many medicinal plants weeds and they are amazing for us.

I also remember hearing that it helps with wound care as well like exceptionally well! I have a bunch of it around my house and I’ve been cutting it and drying it for years now. I love herbs!
