Hi,

Extract of wild strawberry is one of the best herbal antidiarrheals
around. It's even sold commercially in many drug stores and herbal
medicine shops.

I deliberately planted wild strawberries as a ground cover in my
raspberry patch, so now I don't have to weed any other growth. The
flowers and berries are both attractive too. I also have it in several
other areas of my herb garden; it grows in lots of areas where nothing
else does and looks a heck of a lot better than quackgrass!

Good luck :)

Elaine
