Rooted in American traditions that blend Native American lore with the methods of early settlers, Black Haw Bark (Viburnum prunifolium) is one of those herbs that can be found in Folk Lore under a wide range of names. These include American Sloe, King's Crown, Sheep Berry, Snowball tree, and stagbrush to name a few. Tradition holds that Native Americans used to use it in everything from the weaving of basket s to the creation of jams and medicines, but documentation we have on it comes from the lore passed down from the settlers.In this lore, Black Haw Bark is widely believed to help increase fertility. In similar matters it is believed to aid a wide range of feminine issues, easing menstrual cramps and the physical symptoms of menopause and aiding aspects of pregnancy. Often it was prescribed as a preventative measure if there was believed to be a danger of miscarriage, or even to help ease morning sickness.This is a 1 oz packet of cut Black Haw Bar.
