Alnus rugosa var. americana

Alnus rugosa var. americana, also known as American green alder, is a variety of the green alder tree native to eastern North America.

It is a deciduous tree with medicinal properties, particularly its bark, which contains salicin and other phenolic compounds.

The bark has been traditionally used to treat fever, rheumatism, and other inflammatory conditions due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory properties.

Herbal preparations, such as infusions and tinctures, can be made from the bark to harness its medicinal properties and health benefits, including reducing pain and inflammation, and soothing respiratory issues.
