  1. sassafras albidum

    Sassafras albidum, commonly known as sassafras, is a species of tree native to eastern North America. It belongs to the laurel family and is well known for its distinctive aromatic smell. The tree typically grows to a height of 15-35 meters and has smooth, orange-brown bark and leaves that come in three distinct shapes. Every part of the Sassafras albidum - roots, bark, leaves, flowers and fruit - can produce an essential oil which is used in making soaps, perfumes and food flavorings. Its roots and bark were used in traditional medicine by Native American tribes. However, it contains a compound called safrole, which has been linked with liver damage and cancer, limiting its medicinal and culinary usage today.
