According to the Anishinaabe (one of these videos: kzbin.infoZq2njllXgSI?si=Nf1NzDtXWGfbBdBl), you’re only supposed to use the flowers for taking it internally and this is supposed to reduce the interactions with other medications and side effects if that’s a concern. This particularly teacher does talk about the medical research as well though that’s a bit beyond me.

That's certainly interesting to know! I used to take it for depression but it played havoc with my gut so I had to stop.
