Old Man's Whiskers, which is also known as Prairie Smoke, is a perennial wildflower that grows long and feathery as it matures.  The roots have been boiled to create a weak tea substitute while a strong decoction was used to treat severe coughs and fevers, as an eye wash, or mouthwash for sore throats.  The roots were also infused in oil to create a salve to treat rashes, blisters and open wounds.  A brew was often used in sweat lodges as a body wash for aches and pains.
