Folk medicinal uses

This species and the related M. aptera yield oil of ben which is used by watchmakers. The seed contains traces of an alkaloid. The stem yields a gum which contains dextrin. bassorin, and the enzymes emulsin and myrosin: it is also said to contain an alkaloid-moringenine. In Jamaica the bark steeped in alcohol is used as a counter-irritant in cases of pains and headache and a tea made with the leaves is used as a beverage. The Yorubas of Africa use the leaf as an application for headache. The root has been employed for its rubefacient properties in a number of countries including Ceylon, Trinidad and Africa. In Ceylon the bark is said to promote digestion and appetite and in Mauritius the plant is thought to have diuretic, purgative. vermifuge and antispasmodic properties. Among some African tribes the gum is used for diarrhoea. In Cuba the leaves are sometimes employed as a dressing for pimples. Descourtilz reported that the Caribs considered the juice cleansing and antiscorbutic; that the seeds were purgative; a tincture of the root or stem bark "as antiscorbutic” and that warmed leaves were efficacious as a dressing for syphilitic ulcers. Numerous other virtues are ascribed to the plant in India. The tree is not native to Jamaica but is grown to some extent as an ornamental.
