White Oak ( Quercus alba )
PART USED Inner bark
PROPERTIES Astringent, blood regulating, haemostatic, antibacterial, vulnerary.
ENERGY Drying, cooling.
The bark of the white and other oaks is high in calcium and tannis which make it useful for any condition of flaccidity and flux, such as diarrhoea, worms, leucorrhoea, bleeding. It tightens and strengthens any tissue, especially bone, and promotes healing of wounds. Acorns - gathered, roasted and ground - make and excellent coffee substitute. Walnut leaves have like properties. |
