Atractocarpus tahitiensis

Atractocarpus tahitiensis, also known as Tahitian laurel, is a flowering plant species native to the Pacific Islands, particularly in French Polynesia.

The plant has been traditionally used in Polynesian medicine for its medicinal properties, which include anti-inflammatory, antiseptic, and antiviral effects.

The health benefits associated with Atractocarpus tahitiensis include its potential to alleviate fever, cough, and respiratory issues, as well as its ability to soothe skin irritations and wounds.

In herbal preparations, the plant's leaves and bark are often used to make teas, infusions, and poultices, although its use is not widely recognized or supported by modern medical science.
