Our age old tribal traditional herbal knowledge can be translated into modern medicine. Let the good health prevail.

1. Tribal traditional herbal knowledge and Quinine
It was the indigenous herbal knowledge of Ouecha
tribes of Peru & Bolivia who were the first to use
the bark of the Cinchona tree as a cure for fever
with uncontrollable shivers. The cinchona tree
produces quinine. They even used this as a muscle
relaxant. Since it has a bitter taste, they used to
mix it with sweet water. When the Spanish
conquistadors landed in Peru they learned of this
miracle drug and spread the news of its discovery.
In 1631 it was used in Rome to cure the city which
was endemic due to the marshes and swamps that
surrounded it. By 1633 Jesuit priests had documented the use of this
‘Peruvian bark’ as a cure for Malaria. Quinine is also used to treat arthritis
and lupus. So the first and most popular anti malarial drug Quinine was
born out of age old indigenous herbal knowledge of Peruvian tribes.
Likewise our vast tribal traditional herbal knowledge can be translated into
new products. Traditional medicine is based upon clinical experience and
modern medicine on clinical evidence. We have so far documented ample
experiences with 30000 tribal herbal practices and willing to collaborate to
generate clinical evidence, so that the product reaches to entire world. Let’s
collaborate. Let the good health prevail. For our mission detail kindly visit
