Smartweed is a low growing weed found in moist but well drained areas. Very unassuming and not showy at all it has some surprising characteristics. It is often used in a tea to stop both hemorroidal and menstrual bleeding. It is also used directly to clean an open wound. It is said to aid in stemming blood flow. Smartweed is also used as an herb. The leaves are peppery. They can be VERY hot, like cayenne pepper so taste with caution. The leaves retain the 'hot' even when dried so it can be gathered, dried, ground and used as a dry seasoning.
