A to Z Blogging Challenge - Q is for Quercus Robur

Q is for Quercus Robur (Oak bark)



You can brew oak bark as tea and use as a cold compress for burns and cuts.  Used externally, it is said its astringent and antiseptic properties help fight staph infections and skin inflammations.
Many believe the oak tree was the first tree - the Tree of Life - and consider it sacred.
