I have dug up wild specimens of this plant and added them to some of my flower beds. I have it wild all over. Since I had surgery on my snakebitten finger last week, I made some tea with it, and have used it on the wound, along with several salves. It is healing quite nicely. I would recommend trying it if you have a wound needing extra help to heal. I know it recommended using fresh leaves, however, I did not know how to make them clean enough to not cause an infection, other than making a tea. I am using the tea since it was simmered and the liquid was cleaner.

I like this opinion
