Patty – It would be unlikely for Umcka to be growing wild in the U.S. It’s not a native plant here. There are varieties of geranium that grow in the U.S. and may look similar.

Umcka is in the geranium family! @ Patty, you may be referring to ground ivy or commonly called creeping charlie. I have a butt load in my yard too. Hard to get rid of. Ground ivy is in the mint family and I understand have medicinal properties too. But yeah, not the same plant.

I picked up some Umcka at the health food store and am giving it to my 20 yr old…see if it helps his sore throat and phlegm problems. I got the drops (30 drops 3 times a day for 48 hrs) and got the lemon powder to make a hot drink with…we’ll see what happens.

Well, you could knock me down with a feather. That stuff is growing all over my yard. I have begged my husband to kill it with roundup all summer. It is just taking over the yard. How could I make use of it?
The bees sure like it, A LOT!

Common rabbit’s tobacco is very good for viral infections including colds and flu. Also good for stomach viruses. One teaspoon dried rabbit’s tobacco in one cup boiling water. Let steep for about five minutes.

Prevention is far better than cure, and our diet is the best protection against any bacterial or viral infection. Since I started practicing Regenerative Eating 3 years ago, I haven’t had a cold, the flu, sinus infection, yeast infection, or any other kind of illness I used to have regularly during my entire adult life. Having all my wrinkles, fine lines, and age spots disappear is another wonderful “side effect” of eating correctly for the human body, along with having chronic pain, inflammation, arthritis, high blood pressure, and irritable bowel problems vanish as well. A truly healthy diet actually makes and keeps us healthy, inside and out.
