Mulateiro is noted for its ability to completely shed and
regenerate its bark on a yearly basis, making harvesting the bark a totally
renewable and sustainable enterprise. The bark is smooth (as if polished) and
changes colors throughout the year as it matures - going from a green tone to a
brownish tone. Mulateiro bark has a long history of use among the Indians and
local people in the Amazon.
Traditional Uses:* for fungal infections of the skin
(athlete's foot, nail fungus, etc.); for skin parasites; for Candida and yeast
infections; as a skin aid for wrinkles, scars, freckles, and age spots; for
diabetes
