Traditional Uses and Potential Benefits
Antioxidant and Immune Support: The leaves contain natural compounds like flavonoids, tannins, and saponins that help fight cellular damage.
Digestive and Calming Comfort: Traditionally used in Caribbean, South American, and Southeast Asian wellness practices as an evening tea to support digestion and relaxation.
Preliminary Research: Laboratory and animal studies show extracts may have anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, and potential anticancer properties, though these have not been proven in large-scale human clinical trials. Medical authorities like Cancer Research UK note it is not a proven cancer treatment.

Organ Toxicity: High or repeated intake can stress the kidneys and liver.
Contraindications: Unsafe during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or for people with pre-existing liver disease, kidney disease, or Parkinson's disease.
