White oak bark is used for its astringent properties and comes from the oak tree. This type of bark is native to England, however it has been cultivated in the United States. These trees can reach up to 100 feet in height and may live up to 1000 years. They are used for furniture making and their acorns were eaten regularly by Native Americans. In the past, acorns have been dried and turned into flour. Medicinally, white oak bark has several benefits.
