Traditional Uses
Historically, Cinchona bark was used in Native American medicine to treat cases of malaria during the height of colonialism in the 15th century. The native Quechua people primarily used it to soothe fevers and hypothermia. Jesuits living in colonial Peru used Cinchona bark for heart health support. The herb was later brought back to Europe during the 16th century.
