What is White Oak Bark?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Over thousands of years, oak trees have been worshiped for their association with ancient gods and they have played an important role in traditional medicine of several different societies.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The White Oak Tree (quercus alba<\/em>) is native to the eastern United States. It is the symbolic state tree for both Illinois and Maryland. For centuries, Native Americans have used the tree as a cure for many ailments and when the first European settlers arrived in North America, they were able to incorporate knowledge of the traditional methodologies into their own medical practices.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The bark of the White Oak Tree is of particular interest to modern herbalists as it has a wide variety of potential uses. The bark is made up of 15- 20% tannins and various other nutrients including potassium, iron and vitamin B12. Due to the antiseptic and astringent properties of White Oak Bark, it was once listed in the US Pharmacopeia. The bark has also been granted approval by the scientific advisory board, the German Commission E, for use in cases of diarrhea. It is on the GRAS (Generally Recognized as Safe) list, which means that the FDA has deemed it safe for both topical and oral applications.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

This makes it useful as treatment for all kinds of internal secretions, such as nosebleeds, heavy menstrual flow, varicose veins, internal bleeding and diarrhea.
