ALSTONIA CONSTRICTA - DL

Indication

Alstonia constricta, commonly known as Bitter Bark or Native Quinine Bark, is a homoeopathic medicine derived from the bark of a tree native to Australia (New South Wales and Queensland). Closely related in effect to Alstonia Scholaris, this medicine is especially useful for digestive weakness, debility, and post-illness recovery, particularly when associated with diarrhea, malabsorption, or pelvic disturbances. It is known for its tonic and anti-debilitative action, particularly in cases of low fever, lienteria, and postpartum exhaustion.

Common Names: Bitter Bark, Native Quinine Bark
