Queen Anne's Lace is found in the Eastern Deciduous Forest and the Tall Grass Prairie. It is commonly found on the sides of roads in ditches and fields. Also grows at edges of the woods. The chemical ingredient is camphor. Camphor's chemical formula is C10H16O. To utilize the medicinal properties of this plant you must extract the seed oil and ingest by mouth. You can also use the seeds, leaves, and roots and boil them to make a tea. Drinking this tea will cure diarrhea and food poisoning.
