Listing description:

Cinchona bark is a natural remedy with a long history of use in traditional medicine. It is the bark of trees belonging to the Cinchona genus, which are native to South America. The bark contains several alkaloids, including quinine, quinidine, and cinchonine. The alkaloids are used to treat a variety of ailments such as malaria, fever, digestive problems, hemorrhoids, influenza, varicose veins, and leg and muscle cramps.

Quinine, one of the primary alkaloids found in cinchona bark, is a potent antimalarial drug that works by disrupting the parasite’s ability to digest hemoglobin, a protein found in red blood cells.

Today, synthetic antimalarial drugs have largely replaced natural sources like cinchona bark in the treatment of malaria. Additionally, traditional medicine such as lotions use Cinchona bark extracts to numb pain.

Our cinchona bark is 100% natural and organically grown. It is a sustainable and ethical choice for those who are looking for a natural way to improve their health and well-being.

Suggested uses:

• Make a tea by steeping 1-2 teaspoons of cinchona bark in hot water for 10-15 minutes.
• Make a tincture by combining 1 part cinchona bark with 5 parts alcohol in a jar. Seal the jar tightly and shake it daily for 4-6 weeks. Strain the tincture and store it in a dark bottle.
• Make a lotion by mixing 1/4 cup of cinchona bark powder with 1/2 cup of water and 1/4 cup of oil. Apply the lotion to the affected area as needed.
