Traditional Use and Health Benefits. Sassafras is a root bark from North America. It is good for skin, as it is a natural disinfectant and healing salve, it is useful in conditions of psoriasis and eczema. It makes an excellent mouthwash, and can treat head lice and bodily infestations.
Sassafras leaves can be harvested from spring to fall, while the twigs and roots are good all year. All parts of the tree make a reddish-brown herb tea though the root will make the strongest tea. For medicinal use, the root is best. Scrape off the outer bark and use the inner bark. It is best to simmer rather than steep the root, leaves, or twigs.
