Like many herbs in traditional medicine, magnolia bark was originally utilized in China to treat everything from digestive disturbances to emotional distress.
The word magnolia actually denotes the genus, a group of flowering trees containing 210 different species. The particular plant utilized in Orovo products is the Magnolia officinalis, or the Houpu magnolia. It has been used for medicinal purposes for thousands of years. The most widely used purposes for mongolia bark is in relieving stress and anxiety.
Current theories cite magnolia bark’s effect on lowering cortisol levels within the body. Cortisol, a primary hormone produced by the adrenal cortex in response to stress, raises blood pressure and blood sugars, preparing the body for typical “fight or flight” responses. Elevated cortisol levels have been associated with many disorders, including obesity, diabetes, osteoporosis, memory problems and suppressed immune function.
Due to the calming effects of the herb, do not operate heavy machinery or drive while taking a supplement containing magnolia bark. Orovo recommends that you consult a physician before you begin taking any new health supplement blend.
