Dogwood bark has a long history of traditional use by Indigenous peoples and early herbalists for its fever-reducing, pain-relieving, and astringent properties. Often used as a natural alternative to quinine, Dogwood bark supports the body during colds, flu, and inflammatory conditions, especially when symptoms involve heat or fever.

Its natural tannins also provide mild astringent effects, making it beneficial for digestive imbalances like diarrhea and for soothing irritated tissues. Dogwood bark is typically used in small amounts and combined with other herbs to create a balanced effect.
