What It Is and How It Works

Quassia amara, also known as bitterwood, is a tropical herb traditionally used for its intensely bitter flavor. Derived from the wood of a tree native to Central and South America, it has been used in herbal preparations for generations—most often in very small quantities as a strong infusion.
