Dried Pipsissewa is urinary tract disinfectant. Fresh is alterative. Fresh plant is heating tot he skin, dilates blood vessels in the skin. Good for arthritis, rheumatism and psoriasis or eczema - dry skin with arthritis. Bittersweet stems do the same thing... bittersweet fruit is psychotropic, similar to henbane or jimsonweed, but more mild...still toxic but mildly narcotic in very small doses. If you mis-use anything in the deadly nightshade family, it can make you bats@#t crazy!
