Actions of different parts of plants…

[Stacie WalkerStudent]

Hi! Is there a general principle about the difference in medicinal action within a plant depending on the part? I learned for example, that raspberry is astringent, with the leaves being the mildest, the twigs next, and finally the roots strongest. Are some plants the same throughout?

That’s a question without a general answer. Each plant is wildly specific about where it puts its goodies. Your best resource for that information will be the individual plant lessons.

Don't use herbs or combine herbs with medications or use them during lactation or pregnancy without talking with your healthcare provider.
