Quassia | Parasite Cleanse, Digestion & Liver Support
The Remedy:
Quassia (Quassia amara), also known as Bitterwood, Amargo, Bitter Ash, or Cacho de Quassia (in Spanish), is a powerful tropical herb long valued for its cleansing, digestive, and antiparasitic properties. Known for its intense natural bitterness, Quassia helps stimulate the liver, promote detoxification, and expel intestinal parasites.
Rich in quassinoids, the active compounds that give the herb its strong taste and medicinal potency, Quassia helps increase bile flow, reduce bloating, and restore appetite after illness or sluggish digestion. It's also used externally in rinses or sprays to repel lice, insects, and skin parasites naturally.
Traditionally brewed as a tea or tincture, Quassia supports gut health, detox, and natural vitality making it a key ingredient in many herbal cleansing formulas.
