The power of plants
Nipplewort is a widespread annual plant which flowers from June to September and prefers semi-shade conditions. It is an easy-growing plant and can even be found on the edge of motorways. It has long been used to cure scabies and soothe breast irritation caused by breast-feeding (hence its name).
