Oak bark, cut, organic - 100g

Quercus robur L., bark cut, controlled organic cultivation

Indication
Astringent (astringent), for cystitis (also bleeding), diarrhoea, haemorrhoids, white flow

Use
Oak bark tea by decoction is successfully used for gargling in case of infections in the mouth, throat and gums. The tannin "hardens" the mucous membranes and thus removes the breeding ground for bacteria. Later, these "tanned" mucous membranes are shed and replaced by new tissue. This is how an oak bark decoction is prepared: Pour 1/4 l of cold water over 1-2 teaspoons of the cut oak bark. Heat the mixture to boiling point, boil for about 3-5min, strain and use lukewarm. For internal use, 2 cups of tea per day are sufficient. Also suitable for bathing hands and feet damaged by frost, as well as for poultices for inflamed eyes, weeping eczema, burns and secondary infected lower leg ulcers (so-called "open legs").
