Elders of the Saanich and Cowichan Coast Salish people of southern

Vancouver

Island treat, or have treated in the recent past, many ailments with

bark

preparations. Interviews with two elder Salishan women revealed that:

respiratory

ailments were treated with bark of Abies grandis, Arbutus menziesii,

Cornus

nuttallii, Prunus emarginata, Pseudotsuga menziesii and Quercus

garryana;

digestive tract ailments with the bark of Abies grandis, Alnus rubra,

Arbutus

menziesii, Malus fusca. Oemleria cerasiformis, Populus tremuloides,

Pseudotsuga

menziesii, Rhamnus purshianus and Rubus spectabilis; gynaecological

problems with

bark of Abies grandis, Arbutus menziesii, Populus tremuloides, Prunus

emarginata,

Pseudotsuga menziesii and Sambucus racemosa; and dermatological

complaints with

the bark of Mahonia spp., Rubus spectabilis, and Symphoricarpos

albus. Tree barks

have also been used to treat fevers, diabetes, kidney problems, sore

eyes, and

haemorrhaging, and also as general tonics. Two recipes for general-

purpose

multi-bark medicines are provided. In most cases, infusions or

decoctions of

barks are used. The medicines are drunk or applied externally as a wash.
