Use leaves and root for tincture. Wild ginger is a plant I find occasionally. There is a small patch behind my house. It is a very odd looking but pretty plant. Too much tea will make you puke. Upper GI stimulant. Stimulates saliva and sweating. Can help you get over a cold. Not for use in pregnancy. This is another one with warnings about cancer, but the studies done were with huge amounts... like sassafras... you'd have to drink more than a gallon a day of the tea... some say ten gallons.
