This herb was the original "Snake Oil" of the Indians
and settlers of the West. They applied root poultices to cure blood
poisoning, wounds, insect and snake bites. It was used as a mouth
wash for tooth and gum infections and as a tea to treat colds, flu,

herb to treat burns, eczema, cold sores, herpes, and arthritis.
