Description
Sassafras, also known as Cinnamon Wood, Fennel Wood, and Ague Tree, comes from a tree native to eastern North America, which grows up to 60 feet in height. The bark of the Sassafras has been used medicinally since the pre-Columbian era. Native Americans used Sassafras Bark to reduce fevers. They also smoked Sassafras Bark for pleasure. The Cherokee used Sassafras Bark in the treatment of liver disorders.
Sassafras was one of the first American medicinal plants to be used in European medicine, being used in Spain in the 16th Century and England in the 17th Century. Sassafras is most famous for being the original source of root beer. Sassafras tea has also been a popular beverage, especially in the South. It has been observed that Sassafras tea drinkers are less susceptible to colds and infections than others.
Sassafras Bark naturally contains safrole, a suspected carcinogen, but since 1976, commercially available Sassafras Bark has been treated to remove safrole. Research has shown that Sassafras Bark has a general antiseptic power, and stimulates the cleaning of toxins from the liver.
In the past, Sassafras Bark has been used in the treatment of gleet, gonorrhea, skin diseases, and rheumatism, where it was used in conjunction with Sarsaparilla. Sassafras tea was prescribed as an alterative, diaphoretic, and carminative, and used in the treatment of cystitis and dysmenorrhea. Sassafras Bark has also been used to aid in the treatment of acne, dysentery, gout, herpes, syphilis, measles, and shingles.
