Caneleiro Tree
The Caneleiro (Cenostigma macrophyllum) reaches 10 to 20 meters in height, has a grooved trunk, and a tall, dense crown, making it a very beautiful tree.
It belongs to the Leguminosae family, has a tree-like to shrubby habit, and is distributed in closed forest and caatinga formations in the North, Northeast, Central-West, and Southeast regions of Brazil. (It is not the same tree as Canela de Velho).
Medicinal Properties of the Tree
Caneleiro is used in folk medicine for stomach ailments and abdominal pain. It also has anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and antimicrobial properties, and is used to prevent gastric ulcers. It helps reduce pain and inflammation in the joints, backaches, and arthritis, and it purifies the blood.
Among its medicinal components are pentacyclic triterpenes, free and glycosylated steroids, tocopherols and biflavones, fatty acids, ellagic acid, and a significant amount of a rare phenolic compound called valoneic acid dilactone.
Its seeds are an important source of polyunsaturated fatty acids, especially linoleic acid, which stimulates cell regeneration in superficial tissues, as well as tocopherols and carotenoids.
The extract from the leaves and stem bark of the Caneleiro tree has excellent free radical scavenging activity, thanks to the presence of valoneic acid dilactone and ellagic acid.
