First, what is a “medicinal tree?” When I use that term, I specifically mean a tree that I was able to find multiple historical sources documenting their herbal applications.
I picked the trees for this video because they are common and have traditional uses for typical conditions in the wintertime. Additionally, you’ll notice that the bark is the medicinal component of each of them. That means you can find and gather them even in the middle of winter!
On my website, you’ll find an article describing the proper harvest and sustainability of gathering bark for herbal purposes in greater depth. The main point I’ll give you is that I used branches for my testing for this video, not the trunk of the bark. This is a perfectly viable way to get the same chemicals as you’d find in the main trunk’s inner bark without causing much harm to the tree!
The fifth tree is Sassafras. Its use is now extremely controversial and comes with an important warning.
Sassafras was once the principal flavoring component of root beer. However, the main chemical responsible for the distinct flavor, safrole, is now an FDA-banned substance because of its carcinogenic properties.
I am completing a deep-dive on this subject as of writing this article on the legitimacy of the carcinogen concern with safrole. For now, I must advise you to consume at your own risk.
When we investigate the historical uses of Sassafras, we will find a myriad of purported applications. I will describe the ones that I consistently found across multiple sources.
Sassafras was used internally for conditions like parasites, fevers and chills, and venereal diseases (this may have been external as well). Externally, it was used as an antiseptic for cuts and sores and as an eye wash.
Sassafras bark has some mucilaginous compounds as well, which may be why it was additionally regarded as a demulcent or soothing herb.
Oh, I have downloadable PDFs with all the identification information for each of these trees for you! You can get them via the link in my bio!

Thank you for your videos. With Sweet Gum tincture, I was able to keep strep at bay until the Doc in the Box opened back up.
I also realized The Most expensive part of herb medicine is the liquor 😅 everything else is free!
Caltapah (southern) has great uses with diabetes reducing bad cholesterol increasing good cholesterol, as well as a ton of other uses internal and external. I could use some precise info regarding how to do all of that. So please make caltapah one of your trees and for the entire human race make sure you also include the moringa or miracle tree too. As it would wipe out world hunger and theres proof to back that up from world health organization among many other entities… 5 leaves ate and your daily nutritional needs are met. There is not one part of this tree that does not actually perform miracles in our body. Just throw some of the seeds into any water and they purify it. I shit you not man check these trees out…walmart sells 5 moringa tree saplings for under $40, the tree does well in drought areas even and starts producing at 2 months. I’m buying a set and giving it to my kids and planting one on our main street where I live with a notice free for all to use and a list of what it provides the human body. I might get 2 sets actually I think a church would love it also and then tale a couple to the mission and to other places where there’s humans struggling. Man plz do e1 a favor and post about it
