is there an archive, if this plant has a use I don't know and it was discussed a while back, I really want to look through the archives.
Jewel Weed, Spotted touch me not Impatiens capensis >From Peterson Field Guide Eastern/Central Medicinal Plants Smooth annual; 3-5 ft. Leaves oval, toothed; lower ones opposite upper ones alternate flowers pendantlike with red spots. blooms June-Sept found wet shady soil most of our area. uses: crushed leaves are poulticed on recent poison ivy rash mucilaginous steam juice harvested before flowering also applied to rash some use leaf tea as poison ivy rash prevenative. Poultice a folk remedy for bruises, burns, cuts eczema, insect bites, sores, sprains, warts, ringworm. Where I live this is a common plant. After flowering, there are little pods that explode if you touch them. If you live in Eastern/Central US, and have a child who plays outdoors, ask them, they can probably show this plant to you. Of course most children don't play outdoors anymore. ----- Original Message ----- From: Liz Pavek <liz...@frontiernet.net> Sent: Wednesday, November 17, 1999 3:11 PM Subject: CS>Jewel weed > Seems like this plant was discussed pretty thoroughly a while back, but I've > forgotten what the other "common name" for it was.
