Traditional Chinese Medicine practitioners have been using magnolia bark for centuries. Noted for clearing head/chest congestion and relieving vomiting and diarrhea, research has now shown that magnolia bark has an antibacterial effect against several species of Streptococcus, Staphylococcus, and Shigella. Its value in treating amoebic dysentery has also been proven.
