Aruncus is a genus of herbaceous plants in the Rosaceae, subfamily Spiraeoideae. Botanical opinion of the number of species differs, with from one to four species accepted.

Aruncus dioicus (Goatsbeard) is native to the temperate Northern Hemisphere, occurring throughout the cooler parts of Europe, Asia and North America. In the broad sense, this is the only species in the genus, with the species below treated as synonyms or varieties of it by some botanists.

Aruncus aethusifolius (Dwarf Goatsbeard or Korean Goatsbeard) has a restricted range, limited to Korea in eastern Asia.

Aruncus gombalanus (Yunnan Goatsbeard) occurs in the mountains of northwest Yunnan and adjacent Tibet.

Aruncus sylvester (Asian Goatsbeard) covers the widespread Asian forms of A. dioicus.
The genus was formerly treated as part of the related genus Spiraea.

Characteristics – A. sylvester For two weeks in early summer, each 4- to 6-foot stalk of goatsbeard is crowned with a 6- to 10-inch plume of tiny blossoms. Because the flowering season is relatively short and the foliage is tall, goatsbeard is generally placed at the back of a border, but it is also dramatic when massed alone as a separate planting. Its tolerance for partial shade and wet soil makes it popular in woodland gardens.

Goatsbeard does well in USDA Plant Hardiness Zones 4-9 in almost any soil, in sun, or light shade. Set plants approximately 18 – 24 inches apart. To get new plants, divide clumps in spring or fall; otherwise clumps can remain undisturbed indefinitely.

Medical Uses – A poultice from the root is applied to bee stings. A tea made from the roots is used to allay bleeding after child birth, to reduce profuse urination and to treat stomach pains, diarrhea, gonorrhea, fevers and internal bleeding. Use the root tea externally to bathe swollen feet and rheumatic joints. A salve made from the root ashes can be rubbed onto sores.

Poultices question by Jamie: How can I heal a suspensory ligament on my horse?
My horse had an injury on her rear left leg, which has led to her front right leg overcompensating for that injured leg. She is ride-able, and the vet said suspensories will heal, but how can I help this process? Should I put sport boots on her before I ride? Using liniment or poultice on her leg? Any cheap medicines I can give her

Answer by Maddi
Depending on the injury, we have used Stem-Cell therapy, but that is pretty expensive. Usually we try and run colt water over the leg for 10 -15 min a day. I would also only walk and trot for a while. Light riding would be best b/c she could make it worse and/or also injure the other suspensory in the process of overcompensating again. Wrapping isn’t going to help speed anything up in this case. Only when the injury is new would it help. I would stick to water therapy and light exercise.
