Stone root (Collinsonia canadensis), also known as richweed is a perennial herb native to eastern North America. A member of the mint family, it boasts fragrant lemon-scented yellow flowers and large toothed leaves. Native Americans traditionally used Stone root to treat a variety of ailments. Historical records show less use by early European settlers, but by the mid-1900s, Stone root enjoyed a resurgence in popularity as an herbal remedy.

Medicinally, Stone root was used in teas and tinctures for its diuretic, tonic, and astringent properties. Modern herbalists sometimes recommend it for menstrual cramps and other women's health concerns, though scientific evidence for these uses is limited. It's important to note that Stone root can interact with some medications, so consulting a healthcare professional is advisable before using it.

Culinary uses for Stone root are scarce. The leaves have a strong flavor and are not generally considered palatable. However, the lemon scent of the flowers has led some to explore their use in teas or potpourri blends.

In the realm of folk magic, Stone root has been associated with protection and purification. Some practitioners use it in rituals or amulets for these purposes.
