2008 May 18This plant was growing in our own back yard so it was easy to document its progress!
The leaves were sometimes used as a poultice for cuts and sores or, a concoction was made for ulcer and stomach troubles. Some First Nations women chewed the leaves to ease childbirth.

Shalom to you from Jerusalem.
In a comment somewhere you mentioned _Hinds' Feet on High Places._ I loved the book. It helped me, as a Jew, to understand Christianity, more than all the scholarly theology books.
I stayed for a month in the Swiss mountain village where the author was inspired to write it.
Thanks for reminding me!
