I've seen some information on a local TV station about ragweed. They make a tea out of either the leaves, maybe flowers or both. I forget all the herbal properties, but is one of those plants for good health.

If you have allergies, and one of them is ragweed pollen, this would not be good for you!
Also found that you can crush the leaves and apply the juice to soothe poison ivy and insect bites.
Root tea can be used as a laxative, but I don't know the amount to use.
A poultice from crushed leaves can relieve swelling and prevent infection.

"A poultice from crushed leaves can relieve swelling and prevent infection"Looks like this herb might be worth doing research on, tribes used to have herbal cures for almost anything possible to treat medically.

Yeah, my husband told me about the mullien plant, which grows around here....the tea is good for colds....tastes like what you would think grass tastes like! My daughter when she was younger we gave her some for a cold....add to add honey, sugar for her to drink it! But it worked!

Now that you mention it, I can remember seeing a lot of the plants (mullien) growing my area, back in the 1990s. Have not looked in recent years, so much spraying has gone on since that time.
