Skunk Cabbage

Botanical Name: Ictodes foetidus, Symplocarpus foetidus

Also known as: Skunk Weed, Polecate Weed

Country of Origin: USA


With descriptive names such as Polecat Weed and Skunk Weed, you can guess what the Skunk Cabbage plant smells like. But don’t let that put you off from discovering this old-fashioned herb. Skunk Cabbage preparations were commonplace among the Dakota and other Native American groups for their powerful respiratory support properties.

Skunk Cabbage is also listed in early 20th-century herbal guides as an antispasmodic, beneficial for relaxing muscles and easing cramps. The powder can be encapsulated with similar herbs such as Cramp Bark and Lobelia, or prepared as a tincture for easy use.
