Overview
Simaruba is a medium sized tree, up to 80 feet tall with many long, crooked branches covered with a smooth, grayish bark.

Simarouba officinalis - Simaruba flowers
The leaves and bark were historically used as a remedy for dysentery.
They are very bitter, since it contains, among others, a bitter principle identical with quassin.
Indigenous tribes of Amerindians in the rainforest used it as a hemostat to stop bleeding, for fevers and against dysentery.


Suriname's traditional medicine
The crushed seeds drawn in alcohol is used against snakebites. An infusion (herbal tea) of the bark is used against malaria, rheumatism, shingles and fever.
