Squaw Vine Powder

History:

Squaw Vine (not to be confused with Squaw Root) is an ornamental, creeping, evergreen perennial. It is native to North America and thrives in dry woods among timber and also in swampy places in humus-rich, neutral-to-acid soil in shade. The vines beautify the dull, colorless winter forests with their green, clover-like leaves and bright scarlet berries that hug the ground. The berries are edible but tasteless, dry and full of stony seeds and are said to be the favored food of the ruffed grouse, a bird similar to the European partridge; thus, the common name Partridgeberry emerged. Another common name, Deerberry, is derived from the fact that deer also eat the berries. The aerial vine is used in herbal therapies. Native Americans carefully guarded the secrets of this herb, but it was finally revealed that Cherokee and Penobscot women (among others) used the herb several weeks before confinement in order to render childbirth and afterbirth safe and easy; and because they were the first to utilize the herb in this manner, Squaw Vine received its name and another common name, Squawberry. (This historic application should be considered only under the care of a qualified health care provider.) The English Colonists learned of this use and adopted Squaw Vine as an aid in childbirth and for menstrual cramps. The vine was included in the United States National Formulary from 1926 through 1947. Among the constituents included in Squaw Vine are resin, wax, mucilage, dextrin, saponin, tannins, alkaloids and glycosides.
