In the countryside, they rely on all kinds of weeds, because these weeds can not only be used as wild vegetables to feed hunger, but also as medicinal herbs to cure diseases, and have helped many people in the past.
The author is a native of the countryside and a lover of Chinese herbal medicine. Follow me, share with you every day all kinds of common weeds in the countryside, learn more herbal knowledge, maybe it can play a great role in life.
For example, the weed that the author shared with you today is very common in rural areas, but its role is very large.

It is an annual herb of the genus Lamiaceae, which is known to everyone in the village, especially likes to grow on the edge of the field, where it is often seen digging by female friends.
People who know motherwort know that its young leaves look like mugwort leaves, but the young leaves of these two kinds of weeds are edible wild vegetables, but motherwort tastes slightly bitter, and mugwort leaves have a unique mugwort fragrance, so mugwort leaves have always been more popular among the people.
However, Chinese medicine pays attention to the fact that all herbs are medicines, but the level of medicinal value is different. Many people do not know that the medicinal value of motherwort is much higher than that of mugwort. The so-called "good medicine bitter taste", although the taste of motherwort is bitter, but the effect cannot be ignored.
Generally speaking, most wild vegetables are more popular when they are still young seedlings, and motherwort is more sought-after the older it gets, because it has a bitter taste when picking its young leaves for cooking, and is disliked because of the bitter taste, but the old motherwort is used in medicine but the effect is doubled, and female friends who understand it will dig it and take it home when they meet.
