    It has the same chemical in it aspirin does when you metabolize aspirin, so it’s good as an anti-inflammatory.

    Edit: after doing a little bit more research and being corrected below, I am editing this.

    While ghost pipe has been used as traditional medicine, and some people still use it as traditional medicine, it could also be toxic.

      And it has glycosides too! So it may also be toxic to humans.

        Yeah, I actually picked up on that yesterday.

        Someone that sent to traditional medicine gave me some. I think I will avoid it in the future.

        And I edited my comments above to reflect that this morning
