Excellent to see that science is scratching the surface of how animals instinctively use plants as medicine. There is a treasure trove of information to re-learn here as so much of this knowledge has been forgotten, ignored and hidden.

Sea Fennel / Rock Samphire (Crithmum maritimum ) growing in Barry, South Wales. Not related to Marsh Samphire but similar salty taste and both edible and medicinal. A member of the carrot family, its been used for millenia as a food and is a rich source of vitamin C. Medicinal properties include blood sugar balance, prevention of coronary heart disease, anti-worm and parasite, protective against Alzheimers, blood pressure regulator, collagen booster and anti-cancer. What a powerful little plant ! The succulent leaves can be eaten raw or steamed but only use sparingly, just a small addition to a meal.

Knotgrass (Polygonum aviculare) – A Wild Superfood We Trample Daily

Don't feel guilty though, it loves to grow where the ground is really compacted, such as paths and walkways, field entrances and disturbed open ground. It is very easy to miss, being pretty low to the ground usually, often covered in dust from walkers and blending in really well with the soil/gravel its growing in. Look down carefully next time you walk across the edges of a car park, a trampled dusty path or field gateway etc....
