What the brand says
Gravel root, indigenous to North America, thrives in wet, wooded areas from southern Canada to Florida. Native American traditions have long utilized this plant. A leaf tucked in the cheek was believed to make words spoken to the opposite sex well-received. Known also as Joe Pye weed or Sweet Joe Pye weed, legend attributes its use to Joe Pye, a Native American who employed it to combat typhoid. Its 'sweet' moniker remains a mystery. Many Americans consider it a good luck charm, with gamblers carrying parts for fortune. It's also a key ingredient in mojo bags. Gravel root belongs to the Asteraceae plant family.
