From <a href="http://www.methodsofhealing.com/hydrangea-the-medicinal-plant/">Methods of Healing</a>:<br />
<blockquote>The substances from the root of the hydrangea plant are a welcomed alternative to current treatments for immune-related medical conditions. There are many benefits to adopting this recipe in a treatment plan for these types of disorders.<br />
<br />
Researchers have found that they can make a medication, halofuginone (derived from the roots of the plant) that serves to keep the body from producing harmful white blood cells that are commonly associated with immune system diseases. It can do this without interfering with health immune system functioning.</blockquote>MedievalMamahttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03092611271666030004noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-693688959314798117.post-344432945076236862012-03-22T12:35:00.000-07:002012-03-22T12:35:01.173-07:00Narrow Leafed Plantain by the Garden<table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" class="tr-caption-container" style="float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;"><tbody>

<blockquote>This widespread weed can be found throughout North America and Europe where it grows up to 3 feet tall. The leaves of the plant are edible and can be prepared like spinach. They are rich in vitamins A, B, and C, and calcium, iron, and potassium. They make a nice spring salad and come out most conveniently when our bodies need it most -- after a long winter of overindulgence.<br />
<br />
The root should be collected in spring or autumn and has been used by numerous American natives to yield a yellow dye. </blockquote><br />
