🌿 China Officinalis (Cinchona) in Homeopathy: Uses, Benefits, Dosage & FAQs
📌 Introduction
China Officinalis, also known as Cinchona, is a powerful homeopathic remedy prepared from the bark of the Peruvian Cinchona tree, the same plant from which quinine (anti-malaria medicine) was originally derived.
