KALINGAG

KALINGAG (Cinnamomum mercadoi Vidal Lauraceae)

Kalingag is a small to medium sized tree with relatively thick, aromatic bark. It reaches a diameter of 60 cm or more. The bark is gray, without fissures or cracks and covered irregularly with corky pustules, which give it a slightly rough appearance. The leaves are smooth, opposite, elliptical, 7-14 cm long and 3-6.5 cm wide; apex is acute, tip is rounded; texture is leathery; both faces are glabrous, the upper face is shiny while the lower has a glaucous ochre bloom.
Medicinal Value:
- The bark, when masticated and taken internally, helps digestion.
- It is also used for flatulence (gas accumulation in the alimentary canal) and as an expectorant.
- It is used for tuberculosis and as a remedy for headaches and rheumatism.

  1. Kalingag is also effective in lowering blood sugar, cholesterol and blood pressure. Just boil a bark, drink 5 to 8 glasses a day if you have type 2 diabetes and surely your blood sugar will go down to normal. For maintenance; 3 to 4 glasses a day. I have proven this for more than 2 years now. Need to plant this tree but cannot find seedlings here in Manila. Can anybody help me find nursery who offer this? Thanks,
