Uses
Among the Zuni people, a decoction of the plant is taken for "sick stomach", as a purgative, and as a diuretic. An infusion is also taken for stomachaches, for syphilis, and for gonorrhea. The fresh or dried root is chewed by a medicine man before sucking snakebite and a poultice is applied to the wound. The whole plant can be placed under the mattress or burned to repel bedbugs.
