Indian Kino Tree

Pterocarpus marsupium

Conditionally Safe evidence: limited

Scientific Summary

The Indian Kino Tree (Pterocarpus marsupium) is a hardwood tree whose thick bark yields a red, astringent sap rich in flavonoids and alkaloids. The bark is traditionally used to aid blood‑sugar control, as an astringent, and as a component of herbal mixtures for liver health. Because the bark contains potentially hepatotoxic compounds, it should be used only at recommended doses and avoided in people with liver disease or those taking medications with narrow therapeutic ranges.
