Plants Used for Medicine - Part 2

No one likes pain, the market for pain relief is huge. When looking up plants used for medicine many specific plants were listed for the use of pain relief.

Agastache urticifolia, commonly known as, giant hyssop, is a known analgesic. Giant hyssop is found in the western United States. It requires lots of sun, and a light, sandy soil. To use it for pain relief use dried leaves to make a tea. It will also help with measles, colds and rheumatism.

Cornus Canadensis, also known as creeping dogwood is another analgesic with other positive uses. For using creeping dogwood as a pain reliever, try the stems and leaves. You can make a tea out of them. Drinking the tea of a creeping dogwood could also help you with kidney and lung problems, fevers and coughs.
