Woad (Isatis tinctoria), is rarely seen these days –its ability for the fermented leaves to produce a deep blue dye superseded by indigo. A significant power plant for Celtic warriors, who prepared and dyed themselves with woad. Medicinally it is a powerful astringent, used externally to cool fevers and sterilise wounds. It controls a wide range of infection, including viruses, and may have anti-tumour actions. A biennial or perennial, on chalky soil throughout Europe to Central Asia, woad has a rosette of leaves that puts up a multi-branched stem with deep yellow bundles of flowers that ripen into papery oval seed capsules.
