Pegtail grass can be said to be "childhood memory". What are the little-known functions of foxtail grass?

The people born in the 80s and 90s must be familiar with foxtail grass, right? This is a childhood memory. As we all know, foxtail grass is abundant in rural mountains, fields, and ditches. Because it is abundant and easy to reproduce, it is just an ordinary weed. We often use it to make little rabbits or small animals to play with. In fact, there are several other great uses of foxtail grass that few people know about. Do you know what they are?

One: It has high medicinal value.

Speaking of this, many friends can’t believe it, right? Dogtail grass can be found everywhere, but it actually has medicinal value? That’s right! Foxtail grass can not only clear away heat and dampness, dispel wind and improve eyesight; it can also treat wind-heat colds or jaundice in children, which is very valuable. But friends, please note: the medicinal value of dogtail grass has been extracted by medical professionals, and you must not use it on your own.

Two: It has artistic value.

Although foxtail grass can be seen everywhere, art comes from life. In the eyes of many painters or photography enthusiasts who go out to paint, the foxtail grass that can be seen everywhere still has high artistic value. Under their brushes or through the lens, the foxtail grass looks very beautiful and has artistic value. And after special air-drying treatment, dogtail grass can also be placed in the room for beautiful decoration.

Three: Good feed for livestock.

It is estimated that only people who feed herbivorous animals in rural areas know that animals particularly like foxtail grass. Setaria grass is rich in starch. Whether it is newly grown or has grown for a long time, it is a very favorite feed for animals. Therefore, many people in rural areas cut and dry dogtail grass as feed for livestock.
