Prunella vulgaris

Origin: Minnesota

Improvement status: Wild

Seeds per packet: ~200

Germination tested 12/2025: 31%

Life cycle: Perennial

Also called "heal-all", "woundwort," "heart-of-the-earth," "carpenter's herb," "blue curls," "brownwort", "kalyuth" in Kashmir, and "xia ku cao" in Traditional Chinese Medicine, self-heal is an edible mint-family perennial with pretty purple flowers and a wide array of medicinal uses. Its many names are a testament to its broad utility. It's considered a native species to much of the world, namely Eurasia, Africa, and North America. It can often be found growing on roadsides and other disturbed areas, as well as woodland edges and in gardens. It somewhat resembles dead-nettles, but has longer, smoother leaves and grows taller.

The young leaves and stems of self-heal are eaten raw, and the whole plant can be cooked and eaten as a leaf vegetable. It is also dried for tea and also powdered and brewed into a cold infusion, both as a beverage and a soaking bath for muscle pain. In Traditional Chinese Medicine, it's used to treat dizziness, bloodshot eyes, dry coughs, and skin inflammations. It's not surprising the plant has so many medicinal effects, since it's loaded with phytochemicals including D-camphor, betulinic acid, cyanidin, lauric acid, oleanolic acid, rosmarinic acid, myristic acid, rutin, linoleic acid, lupeol, and tannins, in addition to various vitamins and minerals.

Our seed was foraged in Minnesota by our dear friend and colleague Esther Liu.

GROWING TIPS: Seeds need no special treatment, though one month of cold-moist stratification might improve germination rates. Fall sowing is effective as well. Seeds can be started indoors 8-10 weeks before last frost, or sown directly in the ground in early spring. Sow seeds just below surface, as light improves germination. Keep seedlings well watered until well established. Thrives in full-sun to partial shade. Will spread if given the chance.

TSA approved but…
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 30
I’m not super picky when it comes to sunscreen and I needed a sunscreen that would be TSA approved. This fit the bill and didn’t break the bank (getting a 2 pack is nice as well). However, I find that this sunscreen just underperformed for me. It could be that I should up the SPF factor but when using my usual brand their 30 works a bit better than Banana Boat’s version. I wouldn’t say that this product is useless because it did prevent burning in certain areas but I still burned a bit in other areas. However, this could be my fault. I was outside for about an hour with 9 UV rays in a bikini in the California sun. I will say that I did reapply before 2 hrs so I’m just a little bit let down that it didn’t quite perform a bit better. But again, could be user error and perhaps just be really particular about your application technique. If you’re in a pinch, go for it but I’d honestly even recommend upping your SPF factor if you are set on Banana Boat’s while still meeting the TSA sizing requirement. Smells good though and isn’t the stickiest compared to some of the other brands!

Good sunblock. New bottle design with easy to read expiration date.
Size: 8 Fl Oz (Pack of 1), Style: SPF 30
When reviewing this product. It ask you to put a STAR for: Sun protection Water resistance I put 5 stars because, how would i know? I don't use it to go into water and you'd need to be a scientist testing how good the sun protection is. I just assume it works. But i've used banana boat sunblock in the past. And it's been fine. No sunburns. As long as you remember to re-apply it because it's not meant to last all day. Pros: - It's sunblock - It works (from my previous experience) - New bottle design. They changed the style of the bottle. The new bottle has the date on it. The old bottles only had a serial number. In order to find out if your old bottles are expired you had to go to the banana boat website and see the instructions on how to read the serial # that way you can know the expiration date. The new bottle is more simple, the date is laid out easy to read on the bottle. - Long expiration date: I bought this sunblock around april or may of 2020 and the bottle says it will expire January 01, 2022 - Nice slim bottle to fit into a small bag. Cons: - It's a small 8 FL OZ bottle. My old bottle is a 10 FL OZ. Not sure if they still sell the 10FL OZ. - It feels a little heavy and thick on the skin. But after a while it's fine. - If you rub your hands / fingers around your eye, especially if you're sweaty. You might get the sunblock into your eyes. That has happened to me on hot summer days. It will make you teary eyed and irritate your eyes for a long while. - I hear this sunblock may stain clothes. So far that has not happened to me.

Ideal Sunscreen for Backpacking Adventures!
Size: 3 Fl Oz (Pack of 2), Style: SPF 30
I recently used Banana Boat Sport Ultra Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 on a backpacking trip, and it was absolutely perfect for my needs. This sunscreen provided excellent protection and convenience, making it a standout choice for outdoor activities. First off, the SPF 30 rating offers reliable protection against harmful UV rays, which is crucial for long hours spent in the sun. The lotion goes on smoothly and absorbs quickly without leaving a greasy residue, which is a huge plus when you’re on the move. The size of the bottle is spot-on for backpacking. It’s compact and lightweight, fitting easily into my gear without taking up too much space. This makes it convenient to carry and apply whenever needed, ensuring that I stay protected without adding bulk to my pack. The water-resistant formula held up well even during sweaty hikes and water crossings. I didn’t have to reapply excessively, and it stayed effective throughout the day. The lotion also has a pleasant, non-overpowering scent, which is a nice bonus. In summary, Banana Boat Sport Ultra Sunscreen Lotion SPF 30 is an excellent choice for anyone heading into the great outdoors. Its effective sun protection, ideal size for backpacking, and water-resistant properties make it a must-have for any adventure. Highly recommended for keeping your skin safe and comfortable while exploring!
