Cissus Quadrangularis

A vine used primarily for strengthening bone health (specifically, to heal broken bones) and encouraging weight loss.  It helps to reduce the risk of type II diabetes and works as an anti-inflammatory.  Cissus Quadrangularis is found in Africa and various regions of Asia, yet it is quite popular in Thai Medicine. 

Studies have shown that it has antioxidant and analgesic properties.  In addition, it is thought to discourage the malaria causing organism. 

Dried herb preparations and extracts are among the most common applications of this plant.
