Picrasma Quassioides Extract Powder

Introduction:

A tall tree of Jamaica and neighboring islands, quassia has traditionally been used as a remedy for roundworms, as an insecticide, and in brewing as a substitute for hops. It has also been used as a bitter digestive aid, and a remedy for digestive disorders, parasites and head lice.

Several early clinical studies performed on quassia verified its traditional use as a natural insecticide, documenting it as an effective treatment for head lice infestation in humans. Since quassia has long been used for malaria in South America, researchers studied this biological effect as well. One study showed strong in vivo antimalarial activity in mice.

There is preliminary evidence that quassia may be useful in the treatment of leukemia or gastric ulcers. Quassia also may have pain relieving, muscle relaxing, and sedating effects, but currently there are no formal human clinical trials available confirming this.
