Yes, there are many trees and plants that have medicinal purposes. I wasn't aware of this specific tree, but I want some of it's tea.
Aspirin comes from a tree.
Marijuana comes from a plant.
Opiates come from a flower.
Insulin comes from a cow or pig.
Many, many wonderful medicines come from natural herbs and products.
