Blackberry leaf and root, Rubus corchorifolius, are traditionally used in cases of diarrhea, hemorrhoids, sore throats, thrush, and more. It has been used in teas, tinctures, and gargles.

Blackberry returns evil to those who sent the evil. It is the ultimate "I'm rubber, your glue" herb. Use the tea as a floor and wall wash for best effect.
