It was considered by Native Americans to have medicinal properties, and was a popular European treatment for syphilis when it was introduced from the New World. They used different parts of Sassafras albidum for many medicinal purposes such as treating acne, urinary disorders, and sicknesses that increased body temperature, such as high fevers. It is also a primary ingredient in old fashioned style as root beer, popular in N. America. Because Sassafras was banned by the U.S. Food and Drug Administration due to the carcinogenicity of its constituent safrole, most commercial recipes do not contain sassafras. Sassafras Wood (Sassafras albidum) is also distinguished by its aromatic properties. Charlotte may mave mispelt "gum guiasum". Gum guaicum, or guaiac resin, which is a substance produced from the tree species Guaiacum officinale. Gum guiacum acquired a reputation as a cure for syphilis. Gum guaicum was also used to stimulate menstruation. It was also called Lignum sanctum or Lignum vitae. Balsam of Peru is a sticky aromatic liquid that comes from cutting the bark of the tree Myroxolon balsamum, a tree that is native to El Salvador. It can cause allergic reactions in many people.
