Golden petals that follow the sun across the sky mark this cheerful flower. Sunbright grows in great swaths across hillsides, painting the landscape in brilliant yellow. Its stems are thick and its roots deep, making it resilient to drought.

Properties

Sunbright lifts the spirits and combats melancholy. Those who suffer from winter darkness or grief find relief in regular consumption. The flower also aids digestion and stimulates appetite in those weakened by illness.

Preparation

Brew petals as tea for immediate effect. Seeds may be pressed for oil that serves as base for many healing salves. Dried petals retain potency for many months when stored away from moisture.
