Jamaican Bitter Wood

Jamaican Bitterwood also known as Quassia bark, derived from the Quassia amara or Picrasma excelsa, is renowned for its various health benefits and traditional medicinal uses. As a digestive aid, it serves as a bitter tonic, stimulating appetite and enhancing digestive functions by increasing the secretion of digestive enzymes and bile. Its potent anti-parasitic properties make it effective in expelling intestinal worms and parasites. Additionally, Quassia bark exhibits antimicrobial and antiviral activities, helping to combat bacterial and viral infections. Its anti-inflammatory compounds can reduce inflammation and alleviate pain, making it useful for conditions like arthritis. Traditionally used to treat malaria, Quassia bark’s antiparasitic effects inhibit the growth of malaria parasites. It also supports liver health with hepatoprotective effects and acts as a natural insect repellent due to its quassinoid content.  (2 oz | 56g)
