[ Introduction ]
Quassia Extract is a natural herbal product derived from the wood of the Quassia amara tree (Simaroubaceae family), native to tropical regions of South America and the Caribbean. Rich in quassinoids such as quassin and neoquassin, it is valued for its intense bitterness and therapeutic properties, historically used in traditional medicine as a tonic and digestive aid.

[ Uses ]
Quassia Extract is utilized in herbal medicine to stimulate digestion, treat anorexia, fever, and parasitic infections like intestinal worms and head lice. It serves as a natural insecticide against aphids and thrips, and in cosmetics for its astringent and anti-inflammatory effects in skincare and hair care products. Additionally, it is incorporated into beverages as a bittering agent and in pharmaceuticals for potential antimalarial and antidiabetic applications.
