Heal-All

Prunella vulgaris

Description:

Also called Common Self-heal. Gets its name for apparent medicinal properties. Used in a poultice to promote healing of wounds, or in a medicinal tea for a large variety of ailments. Also said to be tasty in salads, soups and stews. And I read it's showing promise in AIDS research. Didn't know ...

Notes:

That said, please don't eat any plant unless you're absolutely sure what it is, right? Also called Self-Heal and Heart of the Earth.

Here's a link from my collection to Heal-All after it's bloomed, as the flower head dries out: http://www.projectnoah.org/spottings/385....
