A folk remedy
Yellow-root, medicinal
Dainty purple blooms.
Art Prescription: Most people walk right by and never see the tiny yellow-root blooms.
They are tiny, and beautiful! This plant has been used as a natural antibiotic among other remedies.
Pen and ink sketch with watercolor:
My Mom and Grandma would gather this and cook it down. During flu season it was always in the refrigerator in a Mason jar. Our flu remedy. š
That’s a great family memory! Thanks for sharing!
