Everything about medicinal plants.

Be kind to each other.

What plants do you keep in your medicine cabinet? What makes you feel better when you are down? Share your knowledge!

Suggestion: One post per plant, one post per health problem.

Why? If we collect all information related to one plant in a post finding info and possibly transferring it to a wiki will be made easier later.

I wouldn't want to limit anything you would like to post though, so just go ahead! :-)

More mods welcome!

Here's an identification help for the European goldenrod, Solidago virgaurea.

I haven't noticed it around here yet, but haven't looked. I've used Solidago nemoralis for dyeing wool.
