SASSAFRAS TEA: USING A TRADITIONAL METHOD OF PREPARATION TO REDUCE THE CARCINOGENIC COMPOUND SAFROLE A Thesis Presented to the Graduate School of Clemson University In Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree Master of Science Forest Resources by Kate Cummings May 2012 Accepted by: Patricia Layton, Ph.D., Committee Chair Karen C. Hall, Ph.D Feng Chen, Ph. D. Christina Wells, Ph. D. ABSTRACT The purpose of this research is to quantify the carcinogenic compound safrole in the traditional preparation method of making sassafras tea from the root of Sassafras albidum. The traditional method investigated was typical of preparation by members of the Eastern Band of Cherokee Indians and other Appalachian peoples. Sassafras is a tree common to the eastern coast of the United States, especially in the mountainous regions. Historically and continuing until today, roots of the tree are used to prepare fragrant teas and syrups.

  • Brewing Beer with Native Plants (Seasonality)
    BREWING BEER WITH INDIANA NATIVE PLANTS Proper plant identification is important. Many edible native plants have poisonous look-alikes! Availability/When to Harvest Spring. Summer. Fall Winter . Year-round . (note: some plants have more than one part that is edible, and depending on what is being harvested may determine when that harvesting period is) TREES The wood of many native trees (especially oak) can be used to age beer on, whether it be barrels or cuttings. Woods can also be used to smoke the beers/malts as well. Eastern Hemlock (Tsuga Canadensis): Needles and young twigs can be brewed into a tea or added as ingredients in cooking, similar flavoring to spruce. Tamarack (Larix laricina): Bark and twigs can be brewed into a tea with a green, earthy flavor. Pine species (Pinus strobus, Pinus banksiana, Pinus virginiana): all pine species have needles that can be made into tea, all similar flavor. Eastern Red Cedar (Juniperus virginiana): mature, dark blue berries and young twigs may be made into tea or cooked with, similar in flavor to most other evergreen species. Pawpaw (Asimina triloba): edible fruit, often described as a mango/banana flavor hybrid. Sassafras (Sassafras albidum): root used to make tea, formerly used to make rootbeer. Similarly flavored, but much more earthy and bitter. Leaves have a spicier, lemony taste and young leaves are sometimes used in salads. Leaves are also dried and included in file powder, common in Cajun and Creole cooking. Northern Hackberry (Celtis occidentalis): Ripe, purple-brown fruits are edible and sweet. Red Mulberry (Morus rubra): mature red-purple-black fruit is sweet and juicy.

  • Sassafras Albidum.Indd
    Sassafras albidum (Sassafras) Laurel Family (Lauraceae) Introduction: Sassafras has exceptional features in all seasons. Small yellow fl owers bloom in early spring. Aromatic leaves are bright green in summer and yellow to orange to brilliant red in fall. Dark blue berries on female trees hang from bright red stems in September. In winter, the tree offers green twigs, red-brown furrowed bark, plump fl ower buds and unique branch architecture. Culture: Sassafras is ideal for naturalized areas, parks or the home landscape. Because it suckers in response to root or trunk damage, it quite easily becomes an attractive thicket. If a single specimen is desired, suckers must be removed. Sassafras performs best in full sun or light shade in slightly acidic, well-drained loamy soil. It tolerates a range of soils but may become chlorotic under alkaline conditions. Sassafras will not tolerate heavy shade and is damaged by road salt, wind, Japanese beetles and sassafras weevils. Botanical Characteristics: Additional information: Native habitat: Maine west to Michigan, The laurel family contains many aromatic tree and south to Texas and Florida. shrub genera from the tropical and warm temperate regions of the world.

  • Sassafras a Sixteenth
    The Pre-Columbian Hypothesis The Pre-Columbian Hypothesis states that treponemal disease, which includes syphilis, existed be- fore 1492---but was confused diagnos-tically with other illnesses, particu-larly leprosy. • It was around 3000 BCE, with cultural changes in the Middle East, that promoted the emergence of venereal syphilis, the ne- west treponemal form. It was reasoned that syphilis first ap- peared in the context of early city life: ―Denser settlement, more clothing, and increased sexual laxity as well as decreasing en- demic syphilis might well have assisted climatic change in the selection of mutants towards venereal syphilis treponemes‖ (Hackett 1963: 29). The Columbus Exchange The Columbian Hypothesis • The reason why there was a strong motive to blame the New World for the new disease is because a supposéd cure was located in the New World • The Columbia Hypothesis (named for its alleged protagonist) had its origin in the treatises of Oviedo, de Isla, and las Casas and other 16th- Century accounts (Baker and Armelagos 1988; Crosby 1972; Dennie 1962; Desowitz 1997; Goff 1967; Harrison 1959; Pusey 1933; Williams, Rice, and Lacayo 1927; Williams 1932, 1936). The historian Alfred Cosby (1972) and others (Munger 1949; Quétel 1990; Steinbock 1976: 87) have pointed out an important financial aspect of the 16th-century acceptance of this explanation: the lucrative trade in guiac wood (ironwood) from the West Indies, imported as a treatment for syphilis to replace the mecurial ointments, pills, and fumigations derived from Arabic remedies for lepro- sy brought back to Europe by the Crusaders. It was alleged the Native A- merican inhabitants of Hispaniola created guiacum, a decoction of guiac wood, to treat their ―age-old‖ version of the disease Syphilis‘ Attack Stages Spirochete Organism Treponematosis is a delicate pathogen, and as a result has rather precise humidity and tempera- ture requirements.
