Elephant Heads (Pedicularis groenlandica)

As an infusion, it can be used to treat insomnia, and also strained muscles, joint pain,
and night-time cramps. Like chamomile, it is very relaxing, but large amounts can make
a person lethargic. It can be used as a massage ointment. It can also be used to treat
fevers, as a general sedative, against anxiety and hyperactivity, or as a cough remedy
(only the flowers, fresh or dried, should be made into a tea).
