Description

Oak Bark Cut is a dried cut bark from Quercus alba , also known as white oak. It has a classic woody aroma and a distinctly tannic, astringent character. Traditionally used in European and North American herbalism, oak bark is commonly prepared as a decoction and used in astringent wellness routines, mouth rinses, gargles and brief external washes.

The cut bark format is easy to measure, simmer and strain for simple home apothecary preparations. Why we love it: Oak bark is a steady, traditional botanical with a clear astringent profile. The cut format is practical for clean decoctions and blends well with gentle companions like chamomile or lemon balm.
