anyone knows, or actually tried a tea made from the cortex magnoliae officinalis ?
im not sure how its done, how much bark and how long to boil to make such tea, but if anyone has any experience or has further info on this herb please report back.
i read in medical journals that it might help with anxiety and also you can use it as mouthwash for bacteria. im curious about this and i was wondering if someone can add comment to this k tnx
 
ok since you guys are uneducated and all you do is discuss chemistry 101 here, can you at least guide me to a more knowledgeable forum ? ktnx
 
yes, insulting people is the way to get them to help you. BTW, i think there are a few actual professional chemists in here.
kthnxbai.

In a couple minutes I discovered that the presumed active component is honokiol/magnolol. Since you seem to know so much, you should be able to come up with a suitable method for extraction I would presume.

Here are my thoughts: grind up the dried plant material into a powder and extract with 1:1 petroleum ether:ethyl acetate or acetone.

i was waiting for few days. when i made this thread i needed response fast because of the situation i was in and nobody replied even days later so... i had to say something :\
 
yeh ok i think thats a bit hard to do so isnt it better and more simple to just put bark in boiling water and make tea from it ? i tried it once but i used too little and i didnt feel anything but maybe if the bark is turned into powder and used in higher amount it can probably work.
 
Wow. What an asshole.

Unless you'd like insight into how to extract/purify the honokiol, this isn't a particularly 'advanced' [or remotely interesting] question for anyone, professional or otherwise. And as for the tea, it's pretty straightforward to make - and revolting. UTFSE, etc.
 
i still couldnt deal with the bark goddamn it.
nothing to break it into powder

can someone help to find magnolia powder to buy somewhere out there
