Rabbitweed, also known as rabbit tobacco, is a perennial herb that is typically found in sandy soil across the United States. This plant is commonly referred to as rabbit tobacco because Native Americans and early settlers believed that it could cure illnesses common in rabbits. However, rabbitweed has many synonyms, including sweet everlasting, pork plant, white balsam, life of man, and old field balsam. These synonyms reflect the variety of uses and associations that this herb has had throughout history. Today, rabbitweed is primarily used as a natural remedy for respiratory and digestive issues and is often blended with other herbs for tea and aromatherapy.
