Jateorhiza calumba or J. palmata is a perennial climbing plant from East Africa. It contains Isoquinoline Alkaloids and is used mainly as a Bitter Tonic especially in cases of anorexia nervosa. It contains no tannins, hence it can be safely used in iron preparations for the treatment of anaemia without the fear of precipitation resulted from in vitro interaction.
