Somebody has jumped the rails here. An herb is what it does in cooking;
flavor. That would include parsley, rosemary, and bay. A medicinal herb
is an unprocessed plant that has curative properties and includes yarrow
leaves, and buck-eye balls.

What is buck eye good for? Last I read, they were toxic.


Untreated, yes.

Supposedly the saponins can be leeched out and they can be used for food
or coffee substitute.
