Wild Bergamot

Wild bergamot is a plant of the mint family that has nothing to do with the citrus fruit called bergamot; the two are unrelated. Wikipedia notes that the species is variable and also calls it bee balm. Cunningham gives it the folk names horsemint, bee balm and Monarda, assigns it to air and a feminine gender, and names its power as clarity. He says wild bergamot can be used to bring clarity and good working order to the surface of any situation. He marks it with the code for pregnancy, meaning it should not be taken internally while pregnant, which is set out in the safety notes.
