A passage from Medicinal Plants of the Western Mountain States:

The tincture or spirit ingested in small but frequent doses is a worthwhile therapy for the gastrointestinal effects of food poisoning, Candida overgrowths, and other microbial infections affecting the region. Having a trifecta of influences – anesthetizing, carminative, and antimicrobial – Monarda will be found specific and effective.
