Description Magnolia is a medium to large, fast growing, and evergreen, typically straight and erect tree with spreading branches that form a dense, broadly pyramidal crown. The tree normally grows about 60 to 90 feet (18-27 m) tall. The trunk attains a diameter of 1.8 m. The tree has brown or grey bark that is smooth when the plant is young. As the plant gets older it has a grey-brown, thinly scaly and fissured bark. Twigs, vegetative buds and petioles are densely brown to greyish brown and shortly tomentose. The stems have vertical lenticels and shield-shaped leaf scars. The pith is large, white, and blocky in appearance. The tree may live 80- 120 years. The plant is found growing on the margins of ponds and swamps, ravines, hummocks, wooded floodplains, sand dunes, wooded dunes, buffs and sandy bottoms, lowland areas, river bottoms, mesic woods, woodlands, maritime forests and bottomlands. The plant prefers rich fertile, moist, well-drained soil in its native range. It does not tolerate flood and frost. The flowers and bark of magnolia plants have been admired for their multiple medicinal applications. Some of the healing properties are based in traditional medicine, while others have been revealed through modern research into the exact chemical components of the flower, its extracts, and the composition of the bark. Leaves The leaves are simple, alternate, broadly ovate about 13-20 cm (5-8 in) long and 5-8 cm (2-3 in) broad, with smooth entire margins. They are very thick and leathery, without teeth, and have a dark green, stiff, smooth, shiny surface above and a fuzzy, rusty color below. The leaves have pinnate venation and the margins of the leaves are smooth. The leaves can persist on the tree for approximately two years. In the spring, they have a golden to rust color on their undersides. Flowers The terminal flower bud ¾-1 ¼ in (2-3 cm) long, is brown and pubescent, and tapers at the apex. The lateral/axillary bud is small (¼ in) and is slightly shrouded in hair. The tree flowers from late spring to fall; producing large, 6-8 in (15-20 cm) wide fragrant, showy, white, lemon citronella-scented, monoecious flowers (having male and female reproductive organs on same plant) on stout, hairy stalks. The flowers may have 6-15 petals with a waxy texture, emerging from the tips of twigs on mature trees in late spring. Color of the flower depends on the species and it can be white, yellow, pinkish, purple and green. Magnolia blooms from April to June. First flowers develop seven years after planting. Fruit Fertile flower are followed by an aggregate of dry, cylindrical, hairy, 3-5 in long (8-13 cm) carpels that turn red/red brown with age. Each follicle consists of one ½ in (1.3 cm) long kidney shaped seed that can be red, orange or pink in color. The slightly flattened seed remains attached to the open pod by a thin, elastic thread at maturity. Seed of magnolia is favorite food of many birds. In the US, the magnolia is used as a street tree, a free standing specimen, a framing tree, or shade tree. In most parts of India, magnolias are grown only in select well-maintained gardens. In Manipur, magnolias are commonly grown - the Manipuri name ootahmbal means "tree lotus" - flowers are used as offering in puja. Health Benefits 1. Anticancer Potential According to a research conducted by Lin S. et al, magnolol, a compound found in Magnolia, might prove useful in restricting the proliferation of cancer cells. Another compound honokiol, is also looked at as an anticancer agent. Research published in the Current Molecular Medicine journal has encouraged clinical trials to explore the potential of this compound as a natural, novel anticancer agent. (1), (2) 2. Lower Blood Pressure Honokiol, one compound in the magnolia bark, was found to relax the aortas and lower blood pressure. Though we need more research on this, this sure is a step in the right direction. (3) 3. Anxiety Treatment Honokiol has certain anxiolytic qualities that directly impact the hormonal balance in the body, particularly in terms of stress hormones. By regulating the endocrine system, magnolia might help reduce anxiety and stress by soothing the mind and lowering hormone release in the body. A similar chemical pathway allows it to help relieve depression as well, by stimulating the release of dopamine and pleasure hormones that can help turn 5. your mood around. (4) 4. Promotes Weight Loss Magnolia bark can actually increase weight by stimulating food cravings due to its corticosteroid nature, magnolia supplements may help suppress appetite, which can help anyone trying to lose weight. Research involving healthy premenopausal women showed that a combination of Magnolia Officinalis and Phellodendron amurense extracts helped aid weight loss in the participants. However, further studies are needed to explore this health benefit. So, be sure you speak to a professional herbalist or alternative medical professional to get the best advice on what kind of supplement would best serve your needs. (5) 5. Respiratory Issues Magnolia has long been used to relieve certain respiratory conditions, including bronchitis, coughing, excess phlegm, and even asthma. It naturally encourages the corticosteroids in the body to respond to conditions like asthma, thus relieving inflammation and preventing asthmatic attacks, according to studies on Chinese traditional medicines. (6), (7) 6. Alzheimer's disease For people suffering from Alzheimer's disease or showing risks of other cognitive disorders, magnolia may be a powerful strategy to increase cognition. The magnolol found in it encourages acetylcholine levels in the brain, which is what amyloid plaque in the brain can reduce. Honokiol present in magnolia is also linked to increased brain function and neural activity, thus reducing memory loss and increasing cognition. (8) 7. Improves Liver Health Along with stimulating the lymphatic system and increasing the level of toxins being eliminated from the body, magnolia has also been linked to reducing the build-up of fat around the liver, one of the primary causes of liver failure following excessive alcohol consumption, also called ALD (Alcohol Liver Disease). Researchers have shown it to be a promising remedy for this widespread problem for people who drink excessively and want to retain a high quality of life as they age. (9), (10) 8. Anti-allergenic In a similar vein to magnolia's effects against asthma, the steroid-mimicking properties of its extracts help prevent allergic reactions in those who regularly suffer from these symptoms. If you have hay fever, seasonal allergies, or specific allergen sensitivity, magnolia supplements can help strengthen your resistance and keep you feeling your best! (11), (12) 9. Menstrual Cramps The volatile components found in magnolia flowers and bark are considered soothing or relaxing agents, reducing inflammation and muscle tension when consumed. Herbal practitioners would recommend magnolia flower buds to ease the menstrual cramp. When it comes to menstrual discomfort, its supplements are often recommended, as they may provide relief, as well as improve mood and prevent the emotional peaks and valleys related with the pre-menstrual period.(13) 10. Reduces Gingivitis Research published in the International Journal of Dental Hygiene showed that magnolia extract helped reduce gingivitis, in which gums become inflamed and bleed easily. (14) 11. Diabetes Treatment Some of the major bioactive compounds in magnolia bark were found to contribute to glycemic control and this is a boon for diabetics. These compounds, upon further research, were also found to possess hypoglycemic bioactivity - meaning they have the ability to lower blood sugar levels. Magnolia bark is also effective against oxidative damage of the liver, which can happen in severe cases of diabetes.(15), (16) 12. Helps Treat Insomnia By lowering cortisol levels, magnolia bark relaxes the body and the mind. Taking this herb right before you go to bed can help combat sleeplessness as it promotes rapid drowsiness. Ensure you don't take it during the day or while driving or operating heavy machinery. Research also shows us that the honokiol in magnolia bark promotes non-rapid eye movement, thus treating insomnia and helping the body and mind relax and drift to sleep. (17) 13. Eliminate Body Odor Flowers that have this distinctive aroma can help in overcoming the problem of body odor. Boil the flowers with or without adding a mixture of betel leaf. Then, use the stew as the water bath or it could be by boiling dried flowers with some amount of water, then, the water can be drunk to drink to overcome body odor. 14. Treat Vertigo Disorders Vertigo is a health disorder where the sufferer will experience the sensation of swirling. This can be overcome by boiling about 5 to 7 dried flower buds using +/- 500 ml of clean water. Boil until the water stay 200 ml and the consumption of the stew of the flowers while in warm conditions. 15.Treat Flatulence Flatulence disorders that definitely feel uncomfortable can be overcome by using herbs derived from the flowers of the Magnolia. Boil 5 Magnolia flower buds mixed with ginger 5 grams, 3 cardamom grains, and 5 grams of mandarin orange skin that has dried along with +/- 700 ml of clean water. Boil a few moments until water is only +/- 300 ml only. Consume these herbs when the water condition is still warm. 16. Treat Sinusitis Sinusitis is a health disorder that occurs due to infection in airway cavities such as nose, face, and forehead. Magnolia flowers are one of the herbs to overcome such disorders. 17. Cure Cough Whooping cough and cough with phlegm can be treated by using herbs derived from Magnolia flowers, ginger, and mandarin orange skin that have been dried. Boil all ingredients using little clean water until the water is only half. Before drinking, the herb can also be added with honey, to add the sweet taste. Drink boiled water as much as 2 times a day. 18. Overcome Chest disruption Sometimes we feel our chest feeling full that will eventually cause bloated. This can be overcome by using the ingredients derived from the benefits of Magnolia flowers, as for the how to use it: Dried cotton +/- 15 grams boiled with 500 ccs of clean water for some time until the water becomes half.
