Herb a Day Campaign: Quassia | Quassia amara

Herb a day Campaign : Quassia is bitter! It actually contains the most bitter substance found in nature, Quassin. Bitters make a lot happen in the system. They stimulate digestion, they make the digestive organs work more efficiently. If small amounts are taken it will help to increase the appetite. This is important for feeble, emaciated people so they can feel hunger and increase food content to renourish theirselves. Ginger works well with quassia in this instance. In larger doses, it can have an emetic action on the body. Parasites hate Quassia, but to be fair, it has the ability to kill many types of parasites in the body. They have good reason to not like it. It also is used as a natural insecticide on crops. Makes sense because a lot of the lesser animals are affected adversely by the herb. In Brazil, it is given as a tea for Malarial fevers. And one of the things I’ve always tried to offer it for is people who like the alcohol too much. Many have said it will lessen their desire for alcohol. I’ve seen it to be true. #herbadaycampaign #dustigregory #herbalist #dallasherbalist #masterherbalist #quassia #amargo #hombregrande #bitter #parasite #malaria #digestion #herb #slanginherbs #health #healing #nourishing #nature #natural #drsebi #askanherbalist
