Wood Avens, St Benedict's Herb

Yesterday I discovered a volunteer growing on my land, wood avens, (Geum urbanum)! This low-growing plant is also called St. Benedict's herb. It is a member of the rose family and grows at the part-shade edges of forest and fields. The roots are astringent, antimicrobial, and anti-inflammatory, and they smell like cloves because they contain eugenol. They have traditionally been used in tinctures, decoctions, and raw for toothaches, diarrhea, and inflammation. I'll have a tincture ready in 3 months.
