Title: Guazuma ulmifolia
Mutamba holds a place in herbal medicine systems in many tropical countries; chiefly the bark and leaves are used. In Belizean herbal medicine practices, a small handful of chopped bark is boiled for 10 minutes in 3 cups of water and drunk for dysentery and diarrhea, for prostate problems, and as a uterine stimulant to aid in childbirth. A slightly stronger decoction is used externally for skin sores, infections, and rashes. In Brazilian herbal medicine practices, a bark decoction is used to promote perspiration, cleanse and detoxify the blood, and to suppress coughs. There it is used for fevers, coughs, bronchitis, asthma, pneumonia, syphilis, and liver problems. A bark decoction is also prepared and is used topically to promote hair growth, to combat parasites of the scalp, and to treat various skin conditions. In Peru, the dried bark and/or dried leaves are made into tea (standard infusion) and used for kidney disease, liver disease, and dysentery. There the bark is also used topically for hair loss. In Guatemala, the dried leaves of the tree are brewed into a tea and drunk for fevers, kidney disease, and skin diseases, as well as used externally for wounds, sores, bruises, dermatitis, skin eruptions and irritations, and erysipelas.
