Liatris spicata is native to the eastern United States and Canada where it grows wildly in moist prairies and meadows. Liatris spicata has been historically used by many Native American tribes across the continent to treat swelling, abdominal pain, colic, and snake bites as well as used for its expectorant properties including serving as a diuretic and carminative (gastrointestinal problems). Currently today, liatris is used to treat sore throats.
