Great video! We need to keep the knowledge collected by past generations of wild edibles and medicinals available to younger populations. Can't wait to see more videos like this.
Ligisticum potari, aka Osha, or bear root. Increases oxygen intake and is a decongester, and definately anti fungal and viral or bacterial, though cant remember which of those last two. Kicks most colds to the curb, just not covid. Used by the Native American peoples often in powwows to increse lung capacity. Look into Charles W. Kane and his books. They are worth buying. He was taught by Michael Moore (not that one) who was more or less the father of modern herbal medicinal science. People like to scam you on this plant and harvest it by unethical means so be sure of your source. Winter Sun out of Flagstaff AZ is reliable. Ask for the owner, Philis. She is a good, reliable, ethical, and very knowledgeable.
This is all from my understanding. Some venious bleeds, especially larger ones, are difficult to stop, despite clotting agents in the blood. This is not to mention the difficulty of trying to clot blood while actively fleeing the heat of war. Chemicall compounds in this type of plant are a catylist in the process of clotting. Additionally it's a pain reliever. This type of plant has been used and documented in places such as ancient Greece and in historical events such as the Trojan War. Such instances can be found in the Illiad of Homer, hence yarrow's scientific name, Achilles millefolium. It's the original field medic's drug. Pretty darn cool if you ask me!

What a fantastic collection of humans, thanks!
Great video, thank you!
This was such a cool video! Do you guys have any resources for wildcrafting in the Southeastern Wyoming area (Laramie, specifically)?
The video lists Elk Mountain Herbs Inc. 214 S 2nd St. May be a good lead.
Does anyone know the Latin name of the plant he refereed to as "sweet root" at 7:24?

7:50 Achillea millefolium ? Why would you need it for stopping bleeding ? When you cut yourself the bleeding stops by itself.
