Spotted Horse Mint

Spotted Horsemint was used by the
Meskwaki to treat colds and catarrh in a mixture with
the leaves of Ranunculus delphinifolius and the disk
florets of Helenium autumnale. This plant, along
with other plants were ground into a powder and
snuffed up the nostrils to relieve a sick headache.
Taken with the roots of Asarum canadense,
Euphorbia corollata, and Brauneria angustifolia
these plants relieved stomach cramps. The Delaware
washed patients' faces with an infusion of dotted
horsemint to treat skin problems. They also used an
infusion of dotted horsemint to reduce fevers. The
Mohegan made an infusion of the plant to reduce
fevers as well. The Nanticoke used an infusion of the
entire plant to treat colds. The Navajo hung the plant
in the hogan for its pleasing odor.
