White Oak Bark

White Oak Bark (Quercus alba) has astringent properties that constrict the body's internal and external tissue. It can limit bleeding from the skin and help soothe burns, bruises, and eczema. White Oak Bark's antibacterial and antiseptic properties help treat oral infections and other dental issues like gingivitis and toothaches. White Oak Bark's anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties are good for skin health, and its astringent properties help cleanse the skin, while drying out oil. White Oak Bark contains tannins which bind with proteins in tissue to ward-off harmful pathogens and bacteria, making it effective in treating urinary tract infections, dysentery (infection of intestines), and vaginal infections. White Oak Bark is a diuretic that helps remove fluid and waste from the body. White Oak Bark also has expectorant properties that help expel mucus and phlegm from the respiratory system.
