Alstonia  – Your Natural Ally for Digestive Relief, Post-Fever Fatigue & Malarial Recovery

When weakness, digestive disturbances, or post-infection fatigue begin to slow you down, nature often holds the answer. One such remedy, rooted deeply in traditional and homeopathic healing systems, is Mektum Alstonia. This powerful mother tincture, derived from the bark of the Alstonia scholaris tree, is specially formulated by Mektum Homoeo Pharma—a name known for trusted and reliable homeopathic medicines. Whether you’re suffering from recurring gastrointestinal issues or recovering from a long bout of malaria or chronic illness, this herbal powerhouse may be just what your body needs.

What is Alstonia?

Commonly known as Dita Bark or Saptaparni, Alstonia scholaris is an evergreen tree native to the Indian subcontinent and Southeast Asia. The bark of this tree has long been used in Ayurvedic and homeopathic traditions for its potent medicinal qualities, especially for treating digestive irregularities, malarial weakness, and anemia.

In homeopathy, Alstonia scholaris is known as a natural tonic—a remedy that works by enhancing the body’s ability to recover and restore itself after illness, infections, or prolonged weakness. The tincture made from its bark contains active constituents such as alkaloids and diterpenes, known for their anti-periodic (fever preventing), anti-diarrheal, and restorative actions.
