Aquilegia Canadensis – Columbine

Description

This plant has many uses medicinally and they are mostly topical (to the skin and hair). It is made into a tea (the leaves) then once it has steeped in the water until cool, it is used as a hair wash and is reported to help with hair growth. Or it is used as an astringent, for skin irritation but not for wounds. The seeds, can also be rubbed into the scalp to eliminate Lice from your hair. And the seeds, when crushed have a pleasant aromatic quality that is used in perfumes, as the fragrance lasts for a long time, without becoming stale smelling as so many fragrances do.
