Found Information on a site. very handy for you guys.
Rosemary: Antibiotic and antiviral. As a decoction (a simmered tea), a tea, a steam, or a wash.
White Sage: Antiviral and antibiotic. Same as above, but makes a good smudge for insects and parasites. Can be smoked if necessary.
Mullein: Great for bronchial issues. Strengthens the lungs and helps in expectorating infected phlegm. As a smoke and as a tea or decoction.
Yarrow: For bleeding and fevers. Use topically for wounds. The roots will numb tooth and gum...just chew. For fevers, drink lots of tea.
Plantain: A wound packing. Great for insect bits. Crush it up and slap it on. Will reverse blood poisoning if the wound is still open.
Usnea: Nature's penicillin. Great for a wound packing. Antiviral. Antibiotic. Immune stimulant. Use a decoction or a tincture (alcohol based liquid).
Spearmint: Mild fevers and stomach distress. Sedative. Skin wash. Mild douche. Rub enough of the fresh plant on the skin and it acts as a mosquito repellent.
Thyme: The most powerful herbal antibiotic. Kill on contact. Use as a tea, decoction, tincture, a steam, or a wash.
Cayenne: Heart stimulant. Antibacterial. Painful but effective wound powder.
Chamomile: Topical anti-inflammatory. Sedative. Breaks down uric acid crystals...great for kidney stones. Use as a tea. Lots of it. And as a wash.
Add more if you know more. cheers
