MULBERRY

In the 16th century, the berries, bark, and leaves of the black mulberry (M. nigra) were all used medicinally: the berries for inflammations and to stop bleeding; the bark for toothache; and the leaves for "the bitings of serpents" and as an antidote to aconite poisoning. While mulberry has faded from the European materia medica, white mulberry (M. alba) is still widely used in China as a remedy for coughs, colds, and high blood pressure, and as a yin tonic.
