Since smallpox has been talked about quite a bit recently, I thought I would just google. Eradicated since 1980. Can only emerge through bioterrorism...
What is pitcher plant medication?
Pitcher plant is a plant. The leaf and root are used as medicine. Pitcher plant is taken by mouth for digestive disorders, particularly constipation; for urinary tract diseases and fluid retention; as a cure for smallpox; and to prevent scar formation.
Aside from a vaccine (hell no), the only cure Native Americans used was Pitcher Plant. I am not a doctor. Just researching alternatives in case we need to worry about an outbreak in the future.
