Common Names: Sow Thistle, Hare Thistle, Rabbit Thistle. Parts Used: Whole plant (except roots). Recognized Uses: North American Native people have been able to learn much and teach us a lot by their observations of wild animals. The hare (rabbit), in desperation, while being worried by wolves or foxes, has often been observed to snatch a mouthful of this plant in mid-leap, during full flight, to get the extra burst of energy necessary to evade its tormentors. The Sow Thistle is considered a strengthening and nourishing plant.1 It also constitutes an emergency energy source with no side effects. Contraindications: None. Adverse reactions: None. Dosage: 10 to 40 drops or more as needed. References: Dr. A. B. Howard, Herbal Extracts, The Blue Goose Press, 1990.
