The tree is sometimes called Tanners Bark - owing to the astringency and tannins of the bark - which made it a useful tanning agent. The astringent agents found in Oak have been employed for many complaints including diarrhoea, vomiting, mouth ulcers, sore throats and leucorrhea. The tree was sacred to the Druids and much folklore exists about its magical uses, including the acorns being used for fertility. The acorns were also soaked, dried and ground into a flour, and used by the peasants. They were also fed to pigs.
