The Holly Grail

Rivaling hemp in its sheer versatility, the yaupon plant is one of the more underrated plants in herbalism & homeopathy. Native to the American southeast, the yaupon holly was a holy plant to First Nations or indigenous American tribes of the peace-loving region. Just like the true story where Savannah methodically "opted out" of the civil war by deeding itself to the Union one Christmas, Settler/"Indian" wars were largely avoided in the southeast Georgia regions. Chief Tomochichi's periodic yaupon audience with impoverished settlers general played a part in that.
