The old-fashioned word vulnerary can be used as a noun or an adjective to describe plants that are used to heal wounds or treat illnesses. Calendula flowers are sometimes used as a vulnerary, applied to the skin to soothe itchy rashes, and so are herbs like calendula, peppermint, and lavender. Vulnerary shares a root with vulnerable, the Latin vulnus, or "wound."
