Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium

Rabbit-tobacco is a plant (weed) native to North America also called Everlasting, Catfoot, and Old Field Balsam (Pseudognaphalium obtusifolium). It grows wild from the east coast to about half way across the continent although I don't know how far north in Canada it grows or how far south in Mexico. As the "Balsam" name suggests, it will help clear sinuses either made into a tea or simmered in water to be breathed in. It is also a mild astringent. The "everlasting" nickname comes from how long the fragrance lasts after the plant is dried. The term was also used as a nickname for lavender in England, which is what "rabbit tobacco" means in Beatrix Potter's Peter Rabbit.

Use the link below, which is based on a late 19th century/early 20 century "herbal".
