From canker sores to sweaty feet, you can cure an entire alphabet of ailments with pedunculate oak. In several ways this is a beautiful tree.

The oak in ancient times
-
The Oak was a sacred tree among the Germans and dedicated to the god Donar, from which we have taken the name Thursday. In ancient Greece, the supreme god Zeus was dedicated to the oak. The ancient Romans used pedunculate oak leaves as an award for a special merit of a citizen. An oak was often planted at farms because this tree protects the house from lightning; it is a lightning rod. Thus Donar (thunder) protected man against lightning. The ancient Greeks and Romans were already aware of the astringent or contracting effect of oak bark. She used it against diarrhea and blood spitting. Until well into the Middle Ages, Europe was largely covered with oak forests, but uncontrolled logging swallowed up these primeval forests; something western society is now at rapid speed with the tropical forests in Indonesia
