Medicinal uses for ironweed?

Owl

A friend tentatively identified this beautiful weed as ironweed. She said it has some great medicinal applications but I don’t find it in my resource book. Can anyone identify it for me and maybe educate us about its uses please?

I have never come across this before. I will be watching this thread with interest.

Here's are a couple of webpages with some info on the medicinal uses of Ironweed. It is such a beautiful plant! It grows on our place, too.
