Medicinal plants intrigue fifth graders

Retired teacher Sheila Willis, at right, gave presentations on medicinal plants that would have been used to heal people in the Trabue family lifetime. She gave examples from the garden, starting with Lambs Ear which she encouraged students to lay against their cheeks. The softness of the leaves amazed them, even more after she explained how it could help with healing.
Sheila told the students, "say one of Daniel Trabue's kiddos woke up with a fever one morning... there would have been no clinics to get to. ... most folks would have used the herbs available to them in plants. Touching the Lambs Ear, students described it as fuzzy and soft. No bandaids would have been available, but Lambs Ear leaves could be used... acting like Neosporin... it also could have been used as a biodegradable toilet paper in those days. She had more examples and expects more next year. Comments | Permalink
