Yankee Blackberry

• Blackberry leaves and fruit have been traditionally used in North American herbalism to soothe digestive issues, such as diarrhea and dysentery. A decoction of the leaves may help alleviate symptoms by supporting gut health.

  The mechanism involves tannins which can reduce inflammation and tighten tissues, potentially alleviating symptoms of gastrointestinal distress. However, the exact pathway is not fully characterised.
