Day 289: Prunella vulgaris' common name of Self-Heal derives from the fact that it was used topically to aid in the healing of wounds and cuts. Mixed with lanolin or bear fat, it makes an excellent hand lotion. It is an unobtrusive little plant, growing along roadsides and other clearings, and is easily identifiable by its fringed lower petal and hood-like upper one.
