The Botanical Name for Deers Tongue is Liatris odoratissima & it is often known as Vanilla Leaf. Wild Vanilla & Trilissia odorata. It has many spiritual connections with all sorts of people who believe that carrying the herb on their person promotes good luck and, in particular, makes their speech clear & comprehensive, eloquent & concise. Of course this is purely a matter of folklore but the aroma of the herb when subjected to body heat makes a very pleasing scent & is likely to promote attention to the wearer. Deers Tongue leaves were once used & to a small extent still are used to flavour tobacco. Their perfume is largely due to Coumarin, which can be seen in crystals on the upper side of the smooth spatulate leaves. Most of the species are used traditionally. Sadly modern times & progress means that artificial ingredients are more commonly used today to flavour all manner of traditional items so Deers Tongue is only found in the best stockists. It is very rare to find this exceptionally aromatic herb in its whole or cut leaf raw form these days & it is very difficult for us to obtain which means that when we are out of stock of it - it can take some months before obtaining any new stock & of course, the price reflects its rarity.
