ABSTRACT
Moerman (1998) listed three eastern tribes who used the plants. The Iroquois used ninebark as a gynecological aid. The Menomini made a bark drink to cleanse the woman’s system and enhance fertility. The Ojibwa used the root as an emetic (King 1984). Tribes in the western states used it to treat gonorrhea and tuberculosis, and as a laxative (Foster and Duke 1990, Moerman 1998).
