Wild Grass

Old Man's Chest

Habitat & Cultivation

Soil: Regular soil, sand/beach

Found: Grows in most places, favoring gardens, rooftops, and beachy areas

Parts Harvested: Grass Bundle

Very common and often considered a weed. Largely unremarkable in appearance, featuring yellowish linear upstanding leaves. It can however be usefully harvested for the leaf oil, which has expectorant properties, presumably the reason for the alternative name "Old Man's Chest."

Uses
Wild Grass can be macerated and mixed with honey to help treat chesty coughs, and to help bring up spores or other dangerous substances that might have been inhaled by a patient.
