Black eyed susan (Rudbeckia hirta):

The plant also is a traditional Native American medicinal herb in several tribal nations; believed in those cultures to be a remedy for colds, flu, infection, swelling and for snake bites. Typically used as a poultice, it is applied directly to the skin. It boosts immunity and fight infections and is also an astringent when used in a warm infusion as a wash for sores and swellings.
Limonene is found in some plants of the Asteraceae family which is a natural colorless liquid used for clensing and contains anti-stress and sedative properties.

Blue vervain (Verbena hastata):

Some people apply verbena directly to the skin through a poultice to treat poorly healing wounds, abscesses and burns; joint pains and itching caused by allergic reactions or blisters.
The plant contains cornin, hastatoside, and verbenalin which is used primarily as a soothing and sleep-promoting component.
