Eriodictyon Crassifolium

Scientific Summary

Eriodictyon crassifolium is a California‑native shrub whose leaves, stems, and bark are brewed into teas or tinctures. It is traditionally used as a diuretic, to relieve urinary tract discomfort, and to soothe coughs, fevers, and inflammatory skin conditions. The herb may cause stomach upset, can interact with blood‑pressure or diuretic medications, and its safety during pregnancy or breastfeeding is not established, so use it cautiously and consult a healthcare provider.
