Virtues shared by the fruits and leaves of Voacanga africana.
Several medical studies have themselves attested to these properties.
The bark of Voacanga africana contains tabersonine which helps reduce the formation of lesions in the digestive tract (stomach and duodenum).
Tabersonine plays both a preventive and curative role, since it helps reduce ulcers and prevent their appearance.
Local traditional healers (shamans) prescribe the leaves and bark of Voacanga Africana to reduce inflammation and relieve mental disorders. A decoction prepared from the boiled root is used for painful hernia, dysmenorrhea, heart disorders (spasm, angina), and blennorrhea. But, beyond local beliefs, the effects of the molecules of this root on the human brain could above all protect it from the degeneration produced by Alzheimer's and Parkinson's diseases.
