Salmonberry

grows in moist coastal forests, stream sides, bogs, riparian zones, and undisturbed areas.

the fruit, young peeled shoots, leaves and bark are used for tea/poultice. highkey, why are they massive?

can treat wounds, burns, and infections.
an astringent is a substance that brings skin cells closer. tightens your pores, cleanses your skin, and prevents oily skin. 
the leaves and bark are highly astringent and disinfectant. the bark is boiled in water or seawater and is used as a disinfectant wash.
crush fresh leaves or bark and apply directly to the wound as a poultice. the tannins stop bleeding and create a protective layer, the antimicrobials prevent infection, and the anti-inflammatory compounds reduce swelling and pain.

the bark is boiled in seawater, and drunk to lessen labor pains during childbirth. the leaves may help reduce menstrual pain and treat anemia.

salmonberries contain vitamin C for iron absorption, immune support and collagen production, vitamin K for blood clotting and bone health, and manganese for bone formation and wound healing.

antioxidant-rich salmonberry extracts can increase the levels of preadipocyte factor-1, and prevent the formation of fat cells in your body. so basically add salmon berries to your cereal to be a skinny legend.

salmonberry leaves can be made into a tea to treat diarrhea, dysentery, and digestive upset. the astringent tannins in the leaves bind to your intestinal proteins, reducing fluid loss and creating a protective barrier on inflamed gut tissue.
also has antimicrobial activity to kill gut pathogens. drink the leaf tea (1-2 teaspoons dried leaves in hot water, 3 cups daily) at the onset of diarrhea or upset stomach.

pounded bark applied directly to an aching tooth provides relief. the antimicrobial compounds kill the bacteria causing the abscess or infection, the tannins tighten inflamed gum tissue, and the flavonoids provide mild pain relief.

salmonberries contain anthocyanins (the red-orange pigments) that protect your blood vessels from oxidative damage and reduce inflammation. good for cardiovascular protection, blood vessel health, and reducing oxidative damage throughout the body.

fruit, leaves, and bark kills staph, strep, and E. coli. antimicrobial activity through ellagitannins, anthocyanins, and flavonoids in fruit.

the young peeled shoots are eaten in spring as a wild vegetable, called "bear candy" because they're tender and slightly sweet, with an asparagus-like flavor and texture. peel the outer skin off, eat raw or lightly cooked. contains vitamin C, vitamin K, manganese, and fiber. great spring foraging food.
