Etymology
Vaccaria as the name for the tiny dried seeds used on acupuncture points comes from the plant Vaccaria, which comes from Latin vacca 'cow' because the plant was called 'cow-cockle'. So the name simply shows these small seeds come from that plant and are used as tiny stimulants on the skin.
