They give characteristic tart bitterness and possess astringent properties that greatly help in the treatment of inflammatory diseases of the mucous tissues, strengthening and healing them. A decoction of oak bark is applied topically - for rinsing the mouth (with gingivitis and stomatitis), and throat (with tonsillitis and pharyngitis). In addition to tannins, oak bark contains anti-inflammatory elements. This enhances the medicinal value of its decoction, helping to influence the entire mechanism of the disease as a whole.
