The pomegranate’s medicinal qualities have been known for thousands of years. References in the Bible and Roman mythology mention the tree’s unique healing powers, and some Middle Eastern, Asian, and South American people still chew its bark, petals, and peel to treat conditions as diverse as dysentery and diseases of the mouth and gums.
