Anthelmintic Antiaphonic Antiseptic Astringent Ophthalmic Styptic
The roots and leaves are astringent and styptic[222]. The root and leaves of this plant was one of the most highly esteemed medicines of the Omaha and Ponca Indians[207]. A decoction of the root was used as an anthelmintic and to treat pain in the lumbar region[257]. An infusion of the root was used as an eye wash to treat crossed eyes, twitches and eye poisoning[257]. A wash of the pounded boiled root or of the leaves was applied externally to wounds, nosebleeds, sores etc[213, 222, 257]. The root contains anemonin, which is said to be a potent antiseptic[213]. A tea of the roots was used in the treatment of headaches and dizziness[213]. The root was eaten to clear the throat so that a person could sing well[257].

An important new book from PFAF. It focuses on the attributes of plants suitable for food forests, what each can contribute to a food forest ecosystem, including carbon sequestration, and the kinds of foods they yield. The book suggests that community and small-scale food forests can provide a real alternative to intensive industrialised agriculture, and help to combat the many inter-related environmental crises that threaten the very future of life on Earth.

Propagation
Seed - best sown in a cold frame as soon as it is ripe in the summer[1]. Surface sow or only just cover the seed and keep the soil moist. Sow stored seed as soon as possible in late winter or early spring. The seed usually germinates in 1 - 6 months at 15°c[133]. When large enough to handle, prick the seedlings out into individual pots and grow them on in light shade in the greenhouse for at least their first year. When the plants are large enough, plant them out in the spring. Division in late summer after the plant dies down.
