Cure your toothache?
The July flowers are coming now. Bird's foot trefoil is blossoming amongst the long grass and betony is peeping through.
Betony used to be used as a  treatment for nausea and in a tea as a treatment for headaches. A poultice of the leaves is supposed to be good for a sprain, and gargling with wine and a betony decotion is said to alleviate toothache. I think I'd stick to the wine myself.
