Our Quassia Wood Chips are sustainably sourced from the Quassia amara tree and carefully cut to preserve their natural potency. Known as one of the most bitter botanicals in herbalism, quassia has been traditionally used to support digestive health, appetite balance, and gut wellness.
These wood chips are commonly prepared as a decoction (simmered tea) and are valued for their strong bitter compounds, which stimulate digestive secretions and support overall gastrointestinal function. Due to their intensity, a little goes a long way.
