The roots of the plant 'sweetflag' can be mixed with tobacco and the smoke inhaled. This smoke helps relieve toothaches and headaches. The smoke can help you feel more alert if you are tired, like a cup of coffee might. A poultice made with sweetflag root will draw sickness(boils, etc.) from under the skin.
Lots of good pictures of sweetflag on google.
