The plant is a variety of milkweed native to eastern North America. It's a popular plant in country gardens, and is known to attract butterflies, particularly monarchs. It has been used medicinally by a number of Native American tribes for centuries. Much of the plant is edible, including the young shoots, flower buds and stems. The milkweed fibers can be used to make fabric or rope. Pleurisy weed does have a darker side, however. The alkaloids it contains include some that can be toxic in the mature plant. It is considered toxic to livestock, and not recommended for use by pregnant or breastfeeding women, or for children.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eCONSTITUENTS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eResinoids, glycosides, and a small amount of alkaloids\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePARTS USED\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRoot and sometimes the leaves and plant\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eTYPICAL PREPARATIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn tea infusions, as an extract and very seldom in capsules.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003csection id=\"subhead-precautions\"\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003ePRECAUTIONS\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eSpecific:\u003c\/strong\u003e Not for use in pregnancy except under the supervision of a qualified healthcare practitioner.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eGeneral:\u003c\/strong\u003e We recommend that you consult with a qualified healthcare practitioner before using herbal products, particularly if you are pregnant, nursing, or on any medications.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003c\/section\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cspan\u003e\u003cstrong\u003e*These statements have not been evaluated by the Food and Drug Administration.
