Magnolia extract has been used in both the Japanese and Chinese traditions for several thousand years. In Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), magnolia is called Hou Po; in Japan it is used in the Kampo preparation Hange koboku-to, as well as others. While traditional herbal preparations utilize whole magnolia bark extract, modern research has identified two biphenolic compounds, honokiol and its structural isomer magnolol, as the primary active compounds in magnolia bark. Both naturally occur together in the magnolia plant, and the only difference between the two isomers is the position of one hydroxyl group. Magnolia also contains other active ingredients, including eudesmol, a triterpene compound with antioxidant properties.

In research, honokiol has shown potential to selectively modulate GABA receptors, and protect and support nerve function. Traditional Chinese Medicine considers Hou Po magnolia bark to be aromatic, pungent, and warming, and has used it for thousands of years as support for healthy digestion. It has been used for “chi stagnation”, to help combat the effects of stress, and to support calm, healthy moods. This may be explained through magnolia’s potential support of cortisol within normal levels.
