A plant of the arctic and high alpine, the young leaves and stem can be steamed and eaten as a veggie. The roots are also edible raw or cooked. Medicinal use is of the flowering plant. An infusion of the stem, flowers and leaves acts as a mild muscle relaxant and (very mild) sedative - similar to having had a hot bath. Other Pedicularies species may have a similar effect; it is quite safe to experiment with.
