Curiosities:

Red Cinchona – This tree of South American origin was overexploited to obtain a substance present in its bark called “quinine”. Due to this excessive exploitation, the Red Cinchona became a protected species and a relevant rarity in Brazil. Most of the existing trees of the Red Cinchona are located in the Amazon rainforest. According to scientific records, the Red Cinchona is thought to have originated in the Andes Mountains and the Amazon Basin. The leaves and root bark are the most consumed parts of this exotic tree.

Red Cinchona Bark Tea contains stimulating, digestive, anti-inflammatory, healing, diuretic and antibacterial properties. This natural tea can be used in the auxiliary treatment of rheumatic diseases, uric acid, anaemia, osteoporosis, diabetes, tachycardia, and malaria. It may assist in improving digestion, abdominal swelling, fever reduction and muscle relaxation. In some cases, Red Cinchona Tea can be used as a natural painkiller and as a scalp-cleansing solution.
