Hydrangea Root, also known as wild hydrangea or seven barks, has a long history of use in Native American herbal medicine. Tribes such as the Cherokee and Iroquois used the root primarily as a urinary tonic to support kidney, bladder, and prostate health. It was often prepared as a tea or decoction and sometimes combined with other herbs for enhanced effect. Occasionally, the bark or leaves were applied externally for sores, inflammation, or fevers.
