This medicinal tree has so much to offer! Cottonwood leaf buds are one of the strongest natural pain relievers. They take away inflammation and redness, bringing warmth and circulation to the areas applied. They can be infused into oils for salves and creams to be applied to injury or wounds. Alternatively, extract the twigs and buds into alcohol for an internal remedy that helps to soothe and clear infection in sore throats, respiratory illness, and digestive woes.
