Also known as
Sassafras albidum

Sassafras tea, made from the root bark or just the bark, has been drunk for over three centuries in the lower Mississippi valley. Sassafras bark oil is used to flavor medicines and candy and in some perfumes.

"Root bark" means the outer layer of the root, not the bark of the tree.  The bark of the root contains 6% to 9% essential oil (which gives the flavor and aroma) while the whole root contains more like 2% oil. The usual item of commerce is the root bark.

Typical Preparations
Almost always found as a beverage or tea. The essential oil is more difficult to find and use because its trade is heavily regulated.

When used as a tea it is should only be administered by someone familiar with the appropriate use of this substance and only for brief periods of time.
