JAMAICAN DOGWOOD ROOT BARK TINCTURE

An analgesic, sedative and antispasmodic, JAMAICAN DOGWOOD (Piscidia erythrina) is used for headaches, toothaches, anxiety, insomnia, menstrual cramps, and heart palpitations. It is especially useful in the treatment of insomnia due to physical pain.

Jamaican dogwood is best known as a traditional remedy for treating neuralgia, migraine, insomnia, anxiety, fear, and nervous tension. As early as 1844, Western scientists discovered that Jamaica dogwood had pain-relieving and sweat-promoting properties. The Eclectic physicians of the late 1800s in the United States routinely used Jamaican dogwood extracts for nervous conditions and pain. More recent scientific studies have also revealed that bark extracts of this plant have anti-inflammatory, sedative, and anti-spasmodic effects in animals.
