Cinchona Bark | Digestive Tonic & Immune Defense
The Remedy:
Cinchona Bark (Cinchona officinalis / Cinchona calisaya) also known as Peruvian Bark and in Spanish Corteza de Quina is a powerful bitter tonic traditionally used to support digestion, appetite stimulation, immune defense, and recovery from weakness. Rich in quinine, quinidine, and bitter alkaloids, cinchona activates digestive secretions while strengthening the body during periods of fatigue or illness.
Commonly used to support poor appetite, sluggish digestion, bloating, fever recovery, immune weakness, malaria history support, and overall vitality, cinchona bark is valued for its strengthening, bitter, and restorative properties.
Enjoyed as a tea, tincture, or bitter tonic blend, cinchona bark provides focused support for digestive strength and immune resilience.
