Nkasa kindongo, kula nioka (Kikongo), chénopode vermifuge (Fr.), Indian wormseed.
An annual of varying form, occasionally a perennial herb growing to over 1 m high. The plant is covered with aromatic gladular hairs and has a srong, unpleasant smell when crushed.
An important medicinal plant in Bas-Congo. The leaves are soaked in water and used to treat flatulence, coughs and intestinal worms.
Angmering, West Sussex.
Nigella is a genus of about 14 species of annual plants in the family Ranunculaceae, native to southern Europe, north Africa, south and southwest Asia. Common names applied to members of this genus are Nigella, Devil-in-a-bush or Love in a Mist.
The species grow to 20-90 cm tall, with finely divided leaves; the leaf segments are narrowly linear to threadlike. The flowers are white, yellow, pink, pale blue or pale purple, with five to 10 petals. The fruit is a capsule composed of several united follicles, each containing numerous seeds; in some species (e.g. Nigella damascena), the capsule is large and inflated.
The seeds of N. sativa, known as kalonji, black cumin (though this can also refer to Bunium persicum), onion seed or just nigella, are used as a spice in Indian and Middle Eastern cuisines. The dry-roasted nigella seeds flavor curries, vegetables and pulses. The black seeds taste like a combination of onions, black pepper and oregano, and have a bitterness to them like mustard seeds. It can be used as a "pepper" in recipes with pod fruit, vegetables, salads and poultry.
Several species are grown as ornamental plants in gardens. Nigella damascena has been grown in English cottage gardens since Elizabethan times, commonly called love-in-a-mist. Nigella hispanica is a taller species with larger blue flowers, red stamens, and grey leaves. Nigella seeds are self-sowing if the seed pods are left to mature.
In India, the seeds are used as a carminative and stimulant to ease bowel and indigestion problems, and are given to treat intestinal worms, nerve defects, to reduce flatulence, and induce sweating. Dried pods are sniffed to restore a lost sense of smell. It is also used to repel some insects, much like mothballs.
The dried seed capsules can also be used in flower arrangements.

Edible Parts: Leaves.
Edible Uses: Condiment; Tea.
Leaves - raw or cooked. A strong peppermint flavor, they are used as a flavoring in salads or cooked foods. This plant should not be used by pregnant women, see the notes below on toxicity. An essential oil from the leaves and flowers is used as a flavoring in sweets, chewing gum, ice cream etc.. An herb tea is made from the fresh or dried leaves.
CAUTION: In large quantities this plant, especially in the form of the extracted essential oil, can cause abortions so should not be used by pregnant women.
MEDICINAL USES: Abortifacient; Anodyne; Antiseptic; Antispasmodic; Aromatherapy; Carminative; Cholagogue; Diaphoretic; Refrigerant; Stomachic; Tonic; Vasodilator.
Black peppermint is a very important and commonly used herbal remedy, being employed by allopathic doctors as well as herbalists. It is also widely used as a domestic remedy. This cultivar is considered to be stronger acting than white peppermint (Mentha x piperita officinalis). A tea made from the leaves has traditionally been used in the treatment of fevers, headaches, digestive disorders (especially flatulence) and various minor ailments. The herb is Abortifacient, anodyne, antiseptic, antispasmodic, carminative, Cholagogue, diaphoretic, refrigerant, stomachic, tonic and vasodilator. An infusion is used in the treatment of irritable bowel syndrome, digestive problems, spastic colon etc.. Externally a lotion is applied to the skin to relieve pain and reduce sensitivity. The leaves and stems can be used fresh or dried, they are harvested for drying in August as the flowers start to open. The essential oil in the leaves is antiseptic and strongly antibacterial, though it is toxic in large doses. When diluted it can be used as an inhalant and chest rub for respiratory infections. The essential oil is used in aromatherapy. Its keyword is 'Cooling'.
OTHER USES: Essential; Repellent; Strewing.
An essential oil is obtained from the whole plant. It is used medicinally and as a food flavoring. It is also an ingredient of oral hygiene preparations, toiletries etc.. Peppermint leaves are used as an ingredient of potpourri. They were formerly used as a strewing herb. The plant repels insects, rats etc.. Rats and mice intensely dislike the smell of mint. The plant was therefore used in homes as a strewing herb and has also been spread in granaries to keep the rodents off the grain.

No more gyro-wheel, but the most bloated, awkward robot I think I've ever drawn.
His spindly arms are stiff at his sides, as the bloat of his torso doesn't allow them to rest at his sides.
He looks uncomfortable, as if filled with flatulence.

Colon Cleaning Supplement
With a growing number of people becoming aware that health is wealth, the process of Intestinal cleansing has turned into a critical factor in improving the status of the entire body. Intestinal cleansing is typically a procedure that you do to detoxify your intestinal of the toxins and bacteria and flush out all the stagnated waste, plaques and parasites that's been accumulated in colon. Failing to do so will result in people falling victims of various ailments like chronic constipation, intermittent bowel syndrome, flatulence, diarrhea and even colon cancer.
Owthorpe Fish Ponds, Nottinghamshire SK63R.
Showing the distinctive wrinkling of some of the leaves.
The ponds were in the grounds of Owthorpe Hall, which burned down and was demolished by 1832.
Acorus calamus (Sweet-flag, Sweet Sedge, Sweet Grass, Sweet Rush, Myrtle Flag) was grown by Gerard by 1596 and recorded from the wild in Christopher Merrett’s 1666 Pinax. Charles Deering wrote in his 1738 Flora of Nottingham, “Grows plentifully in the River Soar I many Spots, between Kegworth and Loughborough”. By the time the Howitts wrote their 1963 Flora of Nottinghamshire it was locally frequent in lakes, canals and rivers, including the Erewash and Trent as well as the Soar, although then as now it did not flower in the Trent.
Deering also wrote, “The spicy Bitterness of the Root of this Plant bespeaks it a strengthener of the Stomach and Head, and therefore may fitly be put into any Composition of that Intention. The Root preserved may with good Success be used by itself, and both the Germans and Turks are very fond of it, and reckon it a great Preservative against infectious Air, which makes them commonly eat a Piece of the preserved Root fasting. The Leaves having a very grateful Flavour are by some nice Cooks but into Sauce for Fish.” By the time Mrs Grieve’s Modern Herbal was published in 1931 the fluid extract was still an official preparation in the United States but not in the British Pharmacopoeia, although it was much used in herbal medicine as an aromatic bitter, with its properties accounted for by the volatile oil although little was known of its chemistry at that time. She noted it was formerly much esteemed as an aromatic stimulant and mild tonic, also acted as a carminative and she details pages of other uses. Richard Mabey’s New Herbal reported the Food and Drugs Administration in the USA banned its use as a remedy due to the presence of aserone in the essential oil, but rhizomes from Europe had low concentrations compared with those from India and no cases of malignancy were reported in mill or mine workers who chewed the rhizome. This was chewed for its mild sedative effect, whether for toothache or to break tobacco addiction. Mabey also wrote, “it is good for the stomach and bowel because it stimulates the salivary glands and production of stomach juices, helping to counter acidity and ease heartburn and dyspepsia. It also eases flatulence and relaxes the bowel, reducing catarrhal states of the mucous membranes.”
The garden is smelling nice now.
Lavender has a connection to witch-craft and sorcery. Lavender was believed by the Tuscans to counteract the evil eye.
Taken orally, lavender oil was credited with being a restorative and tonic against faintness, palpatations of a nervous sort, weak giddiness, spasms and colic. It was used to increase appetite, raise the spirits and dispel flatulence. It was also used for hysteria, palsy and similar disorders and acted as a powerful stimulant.
Gerard, author of Herball or Historie of Plants(1597), mentions using distilled water from the lavender flowers or oil made from the flowers and olive oil to treat palsy with the statement that doing so will "profiteth them much."
Macerating the oils of lavender and rosemary, with cinnamon bark, nutmeg, and red sandal wood in wine for seven days produces tincture of red lavender which was once a popular medicinal cordial. "Palsy Drops", a once well-known compound, was made from lavender with rosemary, cinnamon, nutmeg, red sandal wood, and spirits.
Rubbing a few drops of lavender oil on the temples is said to cure nervous headaches. Tea brewed from lavender flowers was often prescribed as a treatment for headaches from fatigue or weakness.
One early British work mentions that the lions and tigers in the Zoological gardens "powerfully affected by the smell of lavender water and become docile under its influence."
Researchers are finding many of the medicinal attributes that have been paired with lavender throughout the centuries to be valid. Essential lavender oil has been scientifically found to be a powerful antiseptic that can kill typhoid, diphtheria, streptococcus, and pneumococus bacteria. And it is actually an effective antidote for some snake venoms.
The antiseptic powers of lavender were well known and bundles of the dried herb would be burnt and left to smolder as a fumigant in a sickroom. (No date was given for this practice but the original source implies that the practice continues in the present day.)
Most of the remaining of the earlier medical uses lavender and lavender oil also appear to be founded upon fact with perhaps the notable exception of it being protection against the evil eye - that remains unproven.

Actually a tiny PSA- I shot my son’s graduation on my 75. All of the infinity shots were out of focus which I chalked up to me being a rank amateur. Brought this lens on a trip this summer and did a whole session with the kids in the ocean realizing later they were all out of focus. So it was the rangefinder mechanism out of whack and not just me. Sad because those were both sort of irreplaceable memories. But I got enough non infinity shots and somehow I suspect the world will survive it. Lucky us.

Tansy - Tanacetum vulgare .
A tad tricky to get the flower mostly in focus throughout and rid the background of the white/grey leaf detail. The web was a nice bonus not seen through the viewfinder.
This is a perennial, herbaceous flowering plant of the aster family, native to temperate Europe and Asia. It has been introduced to other parts of the world, including North America, and in some areas has become invasive. It is also known as common tansy, bitter buttons, cow bitter, or golden buttons.
The scent is similar to that of camphor with hints of rosemary. The leaves and flowers are toxic if consumed in large quantities; the volatile oil contains toxic compounds including thujone, which can cause convulsions and liver and brain damage. Some insects, notably the tansy beetle Chrysolina graminis, have resistance to the toxins and subsist almost exclusively on the plant.
Folk with stock in fields with any of the Ragwort related plants pull or cut it.
Tansy has a long history of use. It was first recorded as being cultivated by the ancient Greeks for medicinal purposes. In the 8th century AD it was grown in the herb gardens of Charlemagne and by Benedictine monks of the Swiss monastery of Saint Gall. Tansy was used to treat intestinal worms, rheumatism, digestive problems, fevers, sores, and to bring out measles.
During the Middle Ages and later, high doses were used to induce abortions. Contradictorily, tansy was also used to help women conceive and to prevent miscarriages. In the 15th century, Christians began serving tansy with Lenten meals to commemorate the bitter herbs eaten by the Israelites. Tansy was thought to have the added Lenten benefits of controlling flatulence brought on by days of eating fish and pulses and of preventing the intestinal worms believed to be caused by eating fish during Lent.
Tansy was used as a face wash and was reported to lighten and purify the skin. In the 19th century, Irish folklore suggested that bathing in a solution of tansy and salts would cure joint pain.
Tansy has also been cultivated and used for its insect repellent and in the worm warding type of embalming. It was packed into coffins, wrapped in funeral winding sheets, and tansy wreaths were sometimes placed on the dead.
Tansy can be used as in companion planting and for biological pest control. It is planted alongside potatoes to repel the Colorado potato beetle, with one study finding tansy reduced the beetle population by 60 to 100 percent.
In England tansy is placed on window sills to repel flies; sprigs are placed in bed linen to drive away pests, and it has been used as an ant repellent.
In the 1940s, distilled tansy oil mixed with fleabane, pennyroyal and diluted alcohol was a well-known mosquito repellent; collectors were paid five cents a pound for tansy in full bloom. Research has found that tansy extracts do indeed repel mosquitoes, but not as effectively as products containing DEET. In 2008, researchers in Sweden investigated the use of tansy to repel ticks, showing a 64–72 percent repellency for each oil constituent.
Many tansy species contain a volatile oil which can cause contact dermatitis in sensitive individuals. If taken internally, toxic metabolites are produced as the oil is broken down in the liver and digestive tract. It is highly toxic to internal parasites, and for centuries tansy tea has been prescribed by herbalists to expel worms.
It contains thujone which is toxic. It can be found in adulterated version of the expensive Blue Tansy Oil.
However the Tennessee whiskey magnate Jack Daniel enjoyed drinking his own whiskey with sugar and crushed tansy leaf.
It is another plant which discourages deer.

The Bassian Thrush is often difficult to see, as it is an unobtrusive species that forages among dense vegetation. When disturbed, it sometimes crouches on the ground and freezes, relying on its plumage to conceal its presence. The bassian thrush directs a stream of flatulence toward the site of a worm find. The gas apparently disturbs the worm and provokes movement. The otherwise ordinary-looking thrush is then able to effectively locate the worm and grab it for a quick meal.

Edible Parts: Leaves, Shoots, Oil
Edible Uses: Oil, Salad, Asparagus,Vegetable, Potherb,
Young leaves - raw or cooked. A bitter flavor. The young tender leaves are mild and make an excellent salad, but the whole plant becomes bitter as it gets older, especially when coming into flower. As a potherb it needs very little cooking. Large quantities can cause digestive upsets. Young shoots - cooked. Used as an asparagus substitute. An edible oil is obtained from the seed. The oil must be refined before it is edible. A pleasant flavor.
MEDICINAL USES: Anodyne; Antipyretic; Diuretic; Homeopathy; Hypnotic; Narcotic; Sedative, Antispasmodic, Digestive, Sedative,
The whole plant is rich in a milky sap that flows freely from any wounds. This hardens and dries when in contact with the air. The sap contains 'lactucarium', which is used in medicine for its anodyne, antispasmodic, digestive, diuretic, hypnotic, narcotic and sedative properties. Lactucarium has the effects of a feeble opium, but without its tendency to cause digestive upsets, nor is it addictive. It is taken internally in the treatment of insomnia, anxiety, neuroses, hyperactivity in children, dry coughs, whooping cough, rheumatic pain etc.. Concentrations of lactucarium are low in young plants and most concentrated when the plant comes into flower. It is collected commercially by cutting the heads of the plants and scraping the juice into china vessels several times a day until the plant is exhausted. This species does not contain as much lactucarium as L. virosa. An infusion of the fresh or dried flowering plant can also be used. The plant should be used with caution, and never without the supervision of a skilled practitioner. Even normal doses can cause drowsiness while excess causes restlessness and overdoses can cause death through cardiac paralysis. The fixed oil from the seeds is said to possess antipyretic and hypnotic properties. A homeopathic remedy is made from the plant. It is used in the treatment of chronic catarrh, coughs, swollen liver, flatulence and ailments of the urinary tract.
OTHER USES: Oil
The seed contains 35.2% of a semi-drying oil. It is used in soap making, paints, varnishes etc..

Comments (pertain to pictures in Flicker album Hyoscyamus niger): Hyoscyamus niger is a rare plant on the island of Cres. There are only two references in the FCD database (Ref.: 5), one from an indirect literature source and another observation from 2008. Otherwise, it spreads almost throughout Europe, parts of Western Asia, Africa, Morocco, and Algeria (Ref.: 1).
The plant is medicinal, dangerously poisonous, and has been associated with magic and sorcery for centuries. Its vernacular English name 'nightshade' perfectly reflects its mystery. In medieval texts, magical or ritual properties are ascribed to it. In the compendium of ritual plants in Europe, De Cleene and Lejeune describe medieval sources in which the plant is used to evoke rain, summon demons, and attract game. It is also noted as an ingredient in witches’ tonics due to its psychoactive and hallucinogenic properties. Archaeological excavations dated to AD 70–100 prove its intentional use by humans (Ref. 2) for medical purposes. It was used to relieve chest complaints, all kinds of pain, mucus, and disorders of the womb, and as a remedy for toothache, flatulence, and shortness of breath. However, it has serious side effects too. It causes heavy disturbance of the senses, such as alienation of the mind or madness. Pliny already warned that the drug is dangerous in any form.

This is not yer namby-pamby-let's-get-out-the-Weber-dear BBQ.
This is serious ten-hour, case-o-beer meat smoking.
Start with 150 lbs. of pig-nut hickory,
add a case of good beer to facilitate the process, and some spices and sauce - and that's the beginning of good BBQ.
My neighbor, Jim, bought my smoker, so we celebrated the deal by doing 3 pork shoulders, 3 briskets and 2 racks of beef ribs on Friday.
