CRACCA VIRGINIANA
(Ind. Po-hiel)
American Garden Rue. A common garden shrub introduced into this country at the beginning of the early mission days.
Although the odor of this plant is quite disagreeable to the sense of smell, the infusion is very rich in flavor and not bad at all.
Flesh-wounds, knife-cuts, etc.
ANEMOPSIS CALIFORNICA
(Ind. Che-vnes)
American Swamp Root. Habitat, swamps. This plant is plentiful in California—the territory where it grows wild could be measured in thousands of acres. When cut, dried, and powdered, it can be used for the disinfection of knife-cut wounds, and to draw and promote the growth of healthy flesh. (Spanish Yerba Mansa)
GRINDELIA SQUARROSA
(Ind. Tanga-wet)
Habitat, low, sandy loam soils. For above-mentioned purposes this plant is very valuable from a medicinal standpoint, as it makes all wounds respond quickly to healing, when used as a wash and for disinfection of cuts. A wet pulpy poultice must be applied to the wounds for quick results. The plant blooms from June to August. (American Gum Plant)
FRASERA
(Ind. So-cat-llami)
American Deer Ears. Habitat, the high sierras and coastal ranges. The infusion is used for the treatment of infected sores.
