Huannco

• Cinchona species have been traditionally used in South American medicine for supporting the immune system, often prepared as a decoction. The bark contains quinine and other alkaloids that may help modulate inflammatory responses.

  Quinine and related alkaloids found in Cinchona bark are known to possess anti-inflammatory properties by inhibiting pro-inflammatory cytokines and reducing oxidative stress.
