Welcome!
I am writing about herbs in the 2016 April AtoZ blogging challenge. Most of the herbs written in this series are those I have seen or used. We are at the penultimate day of the challenge and surprisingly I had a big struggle for this post. The usual culprit alphabets like Q, U, Z did not present any trouble but unexpectedly Y did... No herb from my "collection'' fit the bill and I had to scour the world wide web for something suitable.
I got lucky and did not have to make do with some ''managed'' post. Without much ado, here is my Y herb.. Youngia japonica of the Asteraceae family. It is commonly called Oriental Hawkweed or Oriental False Hawksbeard.
As the name suggests, this herb is an invasive. The usual Google search threw up this interesting very well researched post by Green Deane and it's a must-visit site for those interested in botany. Apparently the plant has antiviral and anticancer properties! Amazing isn't it?
