Lloyd Cheechoo is the executive director of the Cree Native Art and Craft Association in Oujé –Bougoumou. Following a request, he obtained the Tamarack tree tea sample from a group of makers of Cree traditional medicine working with the Cree Health Board in Mistissini, Quebec. They are working on a project to find anti-diabetic alternative treatments by researching different trees and herbs that can be used to control blood sugar levels. They find volunteers to test the medicines obtained from the trees and have them drink a certain amount of the medicines daily for a set amount of time. This project is a Cree initiative. According to this study, the tamarack tree, in addition to other trees, have been successful in decreasing the blood sugar levels of patients. As a result, some patients have completely replaced their western diabetes medication with traditional medicines obtained from those trees. [Ref. 1]

Fonction

When consumed as a medicinal preparation, successfully decreases blood sugar levels.

Technique

Tamarack tree tea is produced from tree branches stripped of bark, mashed and boiled in water. The warm liquid produced is then consumed by mouth. Tamarack tea is also used to treat chest colds and break up mucus, and to treat headaches. [Ref. 1]
