Salsola hirsuta, also known as prairie saltwort, is a perennial plant species native to North America, characterized by its hairy stems and small, rounded leaves.

The plant has been used for its medicinal properties, including its ability to treat digestive issues, such as diarrhea and dyspepsia, due to its high content of salts and minerals.
