The root bark of this herb has long been utilized in folk medicine for its antibiotic, antipyretic (fever-reducing) and, in high doses, emetic (induce vomiting) effects. This herb’s antibiotic properties are the result of the presence of myricitrin. Thus, this herb has long been employed as a natural remedy for colds and coughs, excess mucus, fevers and influenza. In fact, 19th century physicians often prescribed a hot tea made from the powdered bark of this herb at the first sign of a cold, cough or flu—the tea is an excellent decongestant and expectorant and helps to “sweat out” a cold. In addition, the bark’s rich tannin content makes this herb an effective astringent and offers explanation for its folk use in treating diarrhea, irritable bowel syndrome and especially mucous colitis. Furthermore, this herb is one of the oldest remedies for hemorrhoids, and when rubbed on the skin, can be used to reduce the swelling or discomfort of varicose veins. What is this herb?
