Description: Sassafras is a sturdy tree found in the bayous of Louisiana. When the tree is young, its leaves are shaped like "mittens," sometimes with two "thumbs." As the tree matures, sometimes reaching a height of 100 feet (30 meters) and a trunk diameter of up to 6 feet (200 cm), the leaves grow more rounded, free of indentation. Sassafras tea, made from the root bark or just the bark, has been drunk for over three centuries in the lower Mississippi valley. Sassafras bark oil is used to flavor medicines and candy and in some perfumes. Ingredients: Sassafra Bark Suggested Use: Almost always found as a beverage or tea. The essential oil is more difficult to find and use because its trade is heavily regulated. Warning: Do not use if pregnant or nursing. Keep out of reach of children.
