The fact that literal medicine is growing in our backyards and they’re classified as “weeds” annoys me so fucking much.
See this “weed”?
That’s Cuban Jute and it can be used to treat:
Fevers
Digestion issues
Headaches
Boils
Pimples
Rheumatism
Toothaches
Like whole ass MEDICINE!!! And I’m supposed to just mow it down😭
How about this “weed”
Brazilian Vervain!! Fucking VERVAIN!
HORSENETTLE!!!
The fact that these are considered “weeds” upsets me to my very core.
(Yes I am aware that horsenettle is poisonous w/out the right precautions and that you can’t just EAT these plants outta the ground. The point of my post was to just point out that these plants have many medical properties that once properly identified, cleaned, and safely prepared can be used as home remedies.)
