Sweetgum Fruit

Sweetgum fruit is used in TCM for its ability to resolve dampness, invigorate blood flow, and ease chest congestion. It’s often found in formulas designed to treat respiratory issues like cough or asthma.
In Southern folk traditions, sweetgum is associated with protection and grounding. The gum is often used in protective charms or placed around the home to keep away evil spirits. The fruit also has a role in spells for prosperity and personal growth.
