Uses for Oak Tree Parts
There are two active ingredients in oaks, tannic acid and quercin(I think that is how it is spelled).
Uses, by no means complete list just ones I have used.
1. Take very small twigs, preferably new growth, and break into tiny pieces. Place the
pieces in water to boil for 30 minutes or so. Drink for a cure for mild diarrhea.
2. Chew the inner bark from the trunk of the tree for a tootheache cure.
3. Tannic acid which can be easily gotten from acorns. Simply shell them then boil the
acorn meat to get the acid into a tea like solution. Drink it. It is good for anti-viral
anti-bacterial purposes.
I have successfully stopped diarrhea by drinking a tea made from the twigs of an oak tree. Pieces of oak bark have been chewed to stop a toothache. The quercin in the bark is said to strengthen capillaries, and tannic acid is anti-viral and anti-bacterial.Tags: None
