Cicuta virosa, the cowbane or northern water hemlock

Healers advise gathering everyone when Saturn is in the constellation of Mars or the Sun. Then, in their opinion, it has particularly pronounced properties, heals rheumatism, dandruff and counteracts "excessive suffering of the chest and abdomen." The aboveground part is harvested during flowering and dried in the shade outdoors or in attics. The roots and rhizomes are harvested in autumn and dried in well-ventilated areas.
