Modifying Herbs

Cinchona Bark: Legend has it that the name cinchona came from the countess of Chinchon, the wife of a Peruvian viceroy, who was cured of a malarial type of fever by using the bark of the cinchona tree in 1638.

Cinchona has a taste of BITTER and a temperature of COOL.

Cinchona Bark, or quinine bark, is one of the rainforest's most famous plants and most important discoveries. The indigenous people of Peru have taken Cinchona Bark for many centuries and it is still a well-used remedy for fevers, digestive problems and infections. As a bitter tonic, Cinchona Bark stimulates saliva, digestive secretions and the appetite, and improves weak digestive function. Cinchona is also used to treat cramps, especially night cramps, and can help relieve arthritis. In India, Cinchona is used to treat sciatica and dysentery as well as problems associated with kapha.

Quinine bark contains naturally-occurring quinine alkaloids. These quinine alkaloids are sold as prescription drugs with numerous side effects and warnings documented in the literature, but the whole plant extract is many times safer than the purified alkaloids. Be sure, however, that your health-care practitioner is familiar with the warnings, side effects and contraindications of higher therapeutic levels of quinine alkaloids.

Cinchona Bark may potentiate blood-thinning medications such as warfarin.
