Native to eastern North America this scrub can be found growing in woodland habitats and along stream banks.\u003cbr\u003ePartridge Berry leaves and berries has been used by Native American tribes for centuries for their healing properties – the berries have been used as food. Eventually this herb was introduced to Western medical herbalism via early contact with North American Indigenous tribes.\u003cbr\u003eThe main use of this plant by Indigenous women was as a uterine tonic. The tea was drank to shorten the second stage labour, facilitate delivery and to bring on suppressed menstruation or for irregular or painful menses. Traditionally used for diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties to support various urinary conditions such as urethritis, prostatitis and painful urination. Externally applied as a poultice for swellings, sore eyes, skin problems and sore nipples; and a steam bath to treat stiff and sore muscles and joints.\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cem\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eProperties: \u003c\/strong\u003e\u003c\/em\u003e\u003cbr\u003eThe taste and energetics of Partridge Berry are bitter, astringent, cooling and drying.
