sleeping grass
Sleeping here..
Weeds have botanical names, they're members of large plant families, and occupy a place in the natural world. Many of them have properties that make them useful as plant medicine, for making into fabric or rope, food for animals and so forth. For example, what we commonly call sleeping grass or sensitive plant is a member of the Acacia family: its botanical name is Mimosa pudica. Many people use it for its sedative and nervine qualities. And you can harvest it for free!
Sleeping Grass is Prized as a Medicine
This prickly little weed is a member of the Fabaceae or Mimosaceae family. It's a tropical perennial from Surinam. It covers the ground and has substantial roots that are hard to pull. It produces seeds that scatter everywhere and sprout joyfully into more plants almost before your eyes.
But you can make a tea or tincture from its leaves and flowers that is good for the nervous system and can help with insomnia.
