Kinkeliba (known as the “infusion of long life” in Senegal) is one of the highest sources of antioxidants tested among herbal teas, even trumping the popular Green Tea. Some of the miraculous properties attributed to Kinkeliba have been proved to be effective against dysfunctions of both the digestive system and the urinary tract.

Kinkeliba stimulates bile secretion while facilitating its outflow, which not only prevents gallstones from forming but also helps aid digestive issues such as IBS, constipation, and migraines. In addition to this liver-supporting function, Kinkeliba leaves are also extremely effective against many other urinary tract problems due to its diuretic and disinfectant action.

Kinkeliba is very effective against inflammatory diseases including rheumatoid or osteoarthritis related pain and has antiviral properties that help combat infections like HSV1 and HSV2. The plant’s leaves prevent and slow down the development of cardiovascular diseases related to weight-gain, obesity, diabetes, arteriosclerosis, coronary insufficiency, arterial hypertension.

Kinkeliba not only is beneficial internally, but also helps topical issues when ingested such as aging, eczema, nappy rashes, and acne because it has natural antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.
