Indigenous interactions: The Ojibwe people in the Great Lakes area consumed the root to clear their throat in preparation for singing in a medicine lodge ceremony. The leaves were also used for nasal hemorrhages, bleeding sores, and wounds, and the roots for a poultice or infusion for wounds (Moerman, 1998).
