While waking up this morning, I discovered forgotten dried ox-eye daisy plants in my pocket. So I made a hot water extract with all 5-6 plants(stem and flower) beautifully opening and pollinating perfectly as I recall picking them. Left the roots alone. Very healthy herb to consume raw, cooked or brewed. Also eaten as a wild protein food. Ox-Eye was used by the Iroquois, Menominee, Mohegan, Quileute and Shinnecock indians. Used as an antispasmodic, tonic, and for digestive, cough-related illnesses and wound healing. Safe but many are allergic. Be careful and have correct plant. It is harvested in May and June.

Wild harvested. Started drinking a shot of it, small sips, then put the rest in a larger glass. The color was fascinatingly fragrant. The effects are relevant to chamomile, which was worthy for the Egyptians and their overall health and beauty. Ox-daisy is lighter than that of chamomile but still pleasant. I do advise not a lot at once to reduce possibly irritated throat(increased with smoking), so it must be at least taken slowly. Suitable for mixing to some degree. My experience is nice with cannabis. Slightly more change in vision with mix. Some added anti-anxiety activity, slightly more sedating and relaxing. My movement is somewhat clearer but heavier.
Ox-eye is a rejuvenating plant that grows all over the world(very invasive). The name comes from its folk origin of the meaning, 'deceased children.' It is also known to be a blood-tonic and liver-tonic. Mixing is very nice due to sedative and antispasmodic effects. According to the United States Department of Agriculture, the toxicity of the Oxeye Daisy (Leucanthemum vulgare) plant is: Slighty toxic! This plant must be used with care and safety.
