About Woodland Tobacco
Woodland Tobacco (Nicotiana glauca) is a herb used in the African Traditional Medicine tradition to help with Pain, Skin Health, and Wound Healing. The aerial parts and leaves are the parts traditionally used, used both internally and topically.
Botanical background
Nicotiana glauca is a species of wild tobacco known by the common name tree tobacco. Its leaves are attached to the stalk by petioles (many other Nicotiana species have sessile leaves), and its leaves and stems are neither pubescent nor sticky like Nicotiana tabacum. It resembles Cestrum parqui but differs in the form of leaves and fusion of the outer floral parts. It grows to heights of more than two meters.
