Here's a good article from Epic Gardening. "Just as crusaders treated their horses with the flowers, growers might treat topical skin abrasions with them. The flower can also be made into a lovely medicinal tea that is reputed to treat the respiratory and digestive tracts. The flower stalks are a great addition to a summer flower bouquet too."
