Did you know that the trees and shrubs in your backyard might hold surprising healing powers?
Aspirin’s roots are in willow bark. Witch hazel remains a staple home remedy. Dogwood once treated malaria, while its blossoms soothe like chamomile. Even sweet gum’s quirky seed balls pack anti-viral power.
These native Western North Carolina shrubs and trees are both striking additions to your yard and time-tested natural remedies.
