Silver‑leaf vine, huh? The villagers swore it turned barren fields green and brought gold—classic myth. In truth, its leaves contain a subtle antimicrobial resin that can soothe skin abrasions, and when brewed it acts like a mild anti‑inflammatory tea. I sometimes add a few to my sweat‑bark steam bath to keep the pores clear. So, yes, the legend has a grain of practical wisdom; just don’t let the folklore get in the way of a good chamomile rinse.
