One local remedy for arthritis and rheumatism calls for one cup of a bark decoction taken three times a day for more than a week. In Colombia, the Siona Indians boil a small piece of the bark (5 cm) in 2 litres of water until 1 litre remains, and drink it for arthritis and rheumatism. In the Ecuadorian rainforest, the Quijos Quichua Indians prepare a bark decoction for general aches and pains, rheumatism, sore muscles, menstrual pain, and stomachaches.
Traditionally, 2-3 cups daily of a standard bark decoction or 3-5 ml of a standard tincture three times daily.

"This illustrates the key difference between the two mindsets — for those with a growth one, “personal success is when you work your hardest to become your best,” whereas for those with a fixed one, “success is about establishing their superiority, pure and simple. Being that somebody who is worthier than the nobodies.” For the latter, setbacks are a sentence and a label. For the former, they’re motivating, informative input — a wakeup call."
