        Hello!  Does anyone have any experience with Wild Sunflowers aka Helianthus Annuus?  What parts and your experience with it medicinally?  I moved 3 plants to my new property and they are growing fabulously and I feel there must be uses other than the seeds. Any input is appreciated thank you!

          An Anecdotal use is to curb diarrhea.  The westward settlers experienced cholera and used a tea made of sunflower leaves to stop diarrhea.  It only took a quarter teaspoon, administered hourly, from what I have read.

            Hi Laura: thank you.  I have read that as well.  We have tons around here and so was hoping to utilize them if I could.
