Magnolia
The bark and fruit of all species of Magnolia trees have been used for medicinal purposes; the bark of the trunk or roots is aromatic, and its taste warm, bitter, and pungent; some pungency is lost through drying. The smooth, silvery back is removed from the tree during the spring and summer and a decoction may be made by soaking it in water or alcohol, although the powdered bark is the preferred form.
Magnolia bark is an aromatic tonic bitter sometimes used to treat fevers and is considered safer than cinchona, a similar herbal remedy. It may be used to treat indigestion. It has been used as an herbal treatment for typhoid symptoms. The bark of one species, Magnolia Umbrella, can be chewed as a substitute for tobacco and may help treat nicotine addiction. The bark in powder may be used to treat chronic rheumatism.
Magnolia should not be used when inflammation is present.
