Dwelling Among Titans

 

Aside from its beauty in nature's surroundings, the Aspen tree provides other uses. One such use is for making matches due to its low flammability; it is also used to make beddings for animals because it doesn't contain the phenols that pine and juniper wood have. The leaves and bark may also be used to make a kind of bitter tea that can help with mild urinary tract inflammations, and the leaves can be used to treat burns, irritations and swollen joints. Nature is full of healing potentials; as such a precautionary measure should always be researched before applying them for field usage.
