• Oak bark has been traditionally used in European herbal medicine to support digestive health, often prepared as a decoction. Its tannins may help reduce intestinal inflammation and diarrhoea.

  The astringent properties of oak bark are attributed to its high content of condensed tannins, which can bind to proteins and mucous membranes in the gastrointestinal tract, providing symptomatic relief for mild digestive issues.

• Oak bark has been traditionally used in European herbal medicine to support immune health, often prepared as a decoction. Its tannins and flavonoids may help modulate inflammatory responses.

  The presence of ellagitannins and proanthocyanidins suggests an anti-inflammatory mechanism through the inhibition of pro-inflammatory cytokines and free radical scavenging activity, though specific pathways are not fully characterised.
