Jamaican Dogwood bark - Latin Name: (Piscidia erythrina)

Herbal Anecdote: Jamaica 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.

Traditional Uses: Jamaican Dogwood has been used traditionally to treat neuralgia, insomnia, migraine, nervous debility, menstrual cramps, toothache and whooping cough.
