Tree of Heaven has been naturalized in my region. This very useful plant is not much used in modern Herbal Medicine, certainly warrants further study. Mrs. Grieve lists Tree of Heaven as: Antispasmodic, cardiac depressant, astringent. The effect produced by Hetet when experimenting on dogs, was copious stools and the discharge of worms. The resin purges, but rarely acts as an anthelmintic. In China the bark is popular for dysentery and other bowel complaints. A smaller dose of the oleoresin produces similar results and keeps better than the bark.
