Pao pereira is a tree native to the northern part of South America. Preparations made from the stem bark are used in folk medicine as sexual stimulants and to treat malaria, digestive disorders, constipation, fever, liver pain, and cancer. Preclinical studies suggest the bark extracts have antimalarial and pain-relieving properties, may help improve cognition, and may also have anticancer effects, but studies in humans are lacking.
Pao pereira is also marketed in supplemental form as an alternative anticancer treatment. However, its safety and effectiveness has not been determined in humans.
