According to the Greeks, the leaves were chewed to relieve bleeding gums and mouth ulcers, and that they could even cure snakebites. Black berry leaf contains tannins that cross-link proteins in mucous membranes. The tannins make the herb useful in treating mild diarrhea and also sore throat. Native Americans used them as a poultice for wounds, rashes, and insect bites. In addition, the vitamin C in the leaves helps strengthen the immune system and promotes tissue repair. 
 
The blackberry is a berry that grows on small, bushy vines, each berry (or drupe) a cluster of small, black fruits. In Britain, the same plant is usually called bramble, because of its prickly thorns, or brambles. The plant is also known as cloudberry (in northern Europe) and dewberry (in the American South). Blackberry brambles can become quite invasive if left to their own devices. Many earth based and Wiccan religions claim that blackberry leaves can help return evil to enemies that sent it, and may also help remove evil spirits from your home.  
 
Superstition in the United Kingdom holds that blackberries should not be picked after Michaelmass (September 29th) as the devil has claimed them, having left a mark on the leaves by urinating on them. There is some value behind this legend as after this date wetter and cooler weather often allows the fruit to become infected by various molds such as Botryotinia which give the fruit an unpleasant look and may be toxic  
 
Also known as: Rubus fruticosus, Black Berry, Bramble, Dewberry, Goutberry, Rubi Fruticosi Folium, Rubi Fruticosi Radix, Rubus affinis, Rubus plicatus, Thimbleberry.
