Cryptolepis bifida

Cryptolepis bifida, also known as the 'Woodland Campsis' or 'Cryptolepis', is a plant species native to tropical Africa, particularly in the countries of Ghana, Liberia, Nigeria, and Sierra Leone.

It is valued for its medicinal properties, primarily due to the presence of a compound called cryptolepine, which has been shown to have antimalarial, anti-inflammatory, and antibacterial properties.

The health benefits of Cryptolepis bifida include its effectiveness in treating malaria, fever, and other related symptoms, as well as its potential to reduce inflammation and promote wound healing.

In traditional herbal preparations, the plant is often used in the form of a decoction, powder, or tincture, and is typically consumed orally to take advantage of its medicinal properties.
