Grows in moist to swampy ground, easy to identify by its green, oval-shaped leaves and its seedstalk which shoots upward directly from the center of the plant. The part of the plant above ground is generally not used. The strength lies in the roots, which are frequently cooked into tea for stomach upsets. It is extremely bitter, and one small segment of root, approximately a quarter of an inch in diameter and two inches long. or that equivalent, is sufficient for one quarat of tea. It should be brought to a boil then allowed to steep. The tea is recommended as a medicine for common colds. Mashed roots applied as poultice for its drawing qualities. A strong, boiled solution is used as a disinfectant for bathing wounds and swellings. Powdered root is sprinkled in open wounds.

Finally I am getting to view your album in FULL SIZE. At least this internet is good for something if not all :-(( This is a most interesting plant. To think of all the things it cures or is good for, is amazing. Lots of research here also. Well done. ~Vickie~
