IF I remember history, smallpox decimated the Indian population so how good would this remedy be?
Looks like not all the tribes used it: “It was used as a medicinal plant by Native American and First Nation tribes in its northeastern and Great Lakes distribution ranges, including the Algonquin, Cree, Iroquois, Mi'kmaq (Micmac) peoples,[20] primarily for use in treating smallpox by means of a root infusion” https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sarracenia_purpurea
