The bark of the wahoo plant was used by the Sioux, Cree, and other Native Americans in various ways, including as an eye ointment, a poultice for facial sores, and a remedy for gynecological issues. Early European settlers introduced it to the Native Americans, and it became popular in Britain and North America during the 19th century.

Wahoo bark is native to eastern North America and thrives in moist forests near bodies of water. It is harvested in the autumn.
