Bayberry is
well known for the delightful scent from the oils and resins the
berries contain. The berries are also waxy and so are used to make
aromatic candles. The berries are boiled and the melted wax is
skimmed off for this use.
The
berries and leaves have nutritive value, Vitamin C being one, but
the dried bark of the Bayberry root has been used by Nature's
Sunshine Products in this case for the different nutritional values.
It has a long history for use as an astringent herb.
The stimulant properties towards
secretions allow the herb to be used without the effect of drying out
the mucous membranes.
The decongestant and expectorant
properties may be helpful for those who have mucous problems in the
upper respiratory system.
Bayberry can be used as a gargle for
sore throats and cankers and as a wash for soft or bleeding gums.
