RE: Camping on the North Carolina coast in my vintage camper home and harvesting Yaupon Holly

in #naturalmedicine4 years ago

What a great post. This is so awesome. Just gave you a follow. I never heard of Yaupon Holly and never tasted the tea. I just searched it because I wasn't familiar. The search revealed that it's called Ilex vomitoria from the family of Aquifoliaceae and doesn't grow where I live, but I have to make a note of it. Thank you so much for sharing this!

Sort:  

Yes that is the scientific name.
Vomitoria because supposedly people drank the strong brew of it roasted to purge historially but no one knows for sure
