View photos of the medicinal plant Thymophylla pentachaeta [Dyssodia pentachaeta] (Dogweed), profiled in Medicinal Plants of the American Southwest.

A passage from Medicinal Plants of the American Southwest:

Dogweed, like closely related Mountain marigold and Chinchweed, is used as a tea to settle an upset stomach and to relieve bloating and fullness. It serves as a useful carminative, working nicely to relieving gas pains from poorly digested food dependent upon stress or general debility of the area.
