Purple pitcher plant / Sarracenia purpurea L. / S. purpurea  ~ has a long history of use as a traditional plant remedy across Canada and the continent of North America.  In Canada, the plant has long been recognized among aboriginal peoples as medicinal. During the 19th century, Purple pitcher plant served as a treatment for small pox originating from First Nation plant medicine.  The Cree peoples of Northern Québec refer to S. purpurea as “aygadash”, which translates to ‘frog’s socks’ in reference to the plant’s long slender pitchers and identify preparations from the leaves as beneficial in treating symptoms of in particular slow healing viral pox like skin infections and skin eruptions and skin infections related to diabetes.  Purple Pitcher Plant has proven valid anti viral lesion/pox benefits for reducing viral load - the viral spread and speeding healing + reducing or minimizing scarring of skin eruptions. 
 
"The antiviral properties of Sarracenia purpurea - Purple Pitcher plant was demonstrated in vitro (Arndt et al., 2012). The authors showed that the plant extract was not only active against smallpox, but also against other poxviruses, monkeypox virus, papovirus SV-40 and various herpes viruses, including papillomavirus and Epstein-Barr virus-associated carcinomas, usually by inhibiting the virus replication at the level of early transcription (Moore and Langland, 2018)"
AND - "Compelling descriptions of their effectiveness were recorded, such as ‘‘the greatest remedy known for the dreadful scourge’’ or “‘it seemed to arrest the development of the pustules, killing, as it were, the virus from within” (Clarke, 1996)" **
