Description
Also known as the toothache tree, prickly ash produces bark and berries that are beneficial to the blood and lymphatic circulation, the spleen, the stomach, and the kidneys. With stimulant, antirheumatic, alternative, diaphoretic, carminative, antidiarrheal, antipyretic, emmenagogue, and rubefacient properties, prickly ash is effective for sluggish circulation, arthritis and rheumatic problems, and toothache and gum problems. Prickly ash bark contains alkaloids, fagarine, coumarins, resin, tannin and volatile oil.
A stimulant of blood and lymphatic circulation, prickly ash is used for arthritic and rheumatic complaints, lethargy and wounds that are slow to heal. In addition, it is also a blood purifier and useful for treating skin diseases and accumulations in the joints.
Prickly ash is very warming to the stomach and is thus useful for weak digestion, colic and cramps.
Externally it can be applied as a poultice or fomentation to help dry and heal wounds. The powder of the bark can be chewed or brushed on the gums to relieve toothache, and to treat pyorrhea receding gums.
A good combination for treating arthritis is equal parts prickly ash bark, guiacum, sarsaparilla, black cohosh and sassafras. This is made into a tea using an ounce of the combination to a pint of water. Three cups are taken daily. Positive results are usually evident within the first two weeks; for more permanent results one may have to take it for two to three months or more.
For pyorrhea and receding gums make a tooth powder using varying amounts prickly ash bark, bayberry bark, finely powdered myrrh, cinnamon and echinacea root. Brush the teeth and gums twice daily with this.
