Cornel (Cornus officinalis) is a dogwood with a long history of use in Asian and European herbal medicine. Its berries hang down instead of being clustered together in a bunch like our native Cornus florida. Because of how they are attached, they tend to stay on the tree longer and grow bigger (which some of C. Florida’s berries do, but many fall off). . . The medicinal properties are similar. The berries are useful for dizziness and sometime tinnitus, and the bark indices sweating and helps to resolve fevers. . . . #dogwood #corneliancherry #cornus #febrifuge #herbalist #herbalmedicine #wildfood https://www.instagram.com/p/B1y_0XiF0ev/?igshid=1vc07zxjcstcg

American Centaury

Sabatia angularis

Common Names: Bitterbloom, bitter clover, eyebright, red centaury, rose pink, wild succory. 

Medicinal Part: The herb. 

Description: American centaury is a biennial plant, 1 to 2 feet high, that grows in most parts of the U.S. on damp, rich soils. The yellow, fibrous root sends up a branched, erect, quadrangular, smooth stem. The leaves are opposite, smooth, and entire, their bases clasping. A terminal umbel consists of many rose-or carnation-colored flowers that appear from June to September. The seeds are borne in short, wheat-like husks. 

Properties and Uses: Bitter tonic, emmenagogue, febrifuge, vermifuge. The warm infusion is particularly good as a bitter tonic for indigestion (dyspepsia) and during convalescence, when the appetite suffers. The other categories indicate older uses and may be more or less effective.

Preparation and Dosage: Gather the plant when in flower. 

Infusion: Use 1 tsp. chopped herb with 1 cup boiling water; steep for ½ hour. Take 1 tbsp. every few hours or as needed. 

Tincture: Take 15 to 40 drops every 3 to 4 hours.
