Mulberry Is a Treasure From Nature

For thousands of years, mulberry trees have been used as a medicinal herb across China, South Korea, and other countries. Mulberry twigs are dried young branches of the mulberry tree (Morus alba) and widely used for treating arthritis pain, stroke, partial paralysis, edema, athlete’s foot, and skin irritation.
In Western medicine, mulberry branches are considered diuretic, anti-inflammatory, antibacterial, and antiviral, and they help prevent the development of cancer.
