We found this cinquefoil growing on a trail just behind our place.

Some first nation peoples made an infusion of the pounded roots to take for pain and as a general tonic.

Some Yukon girl here, always has potentilla (powerfull medicine) in her dried herb collection, to make tea of, to drink when..., whenever there is some tonic needed.
