Traditional use
Amburana cearensis, called cumaru-de-cheiro, imburana or emburana, is a tree of the legume family typical of the caatinga, the semi-arid vegetation of north-east Brazil; it also occurs in Bolivia, Paraguay and northern Argentina. Its bark and seeds give off a pleasant smell, due to coumarin.
According to a 2022 review, the species belongs to the folk medicine of quilombola and Indigenous communities in north-east Brazil and Bolivia, where the Chacobo and Tocana groups are cited. The compounds reported are mainly coumarins, flavonoids, phenolic glycosides, phenolic acids and triterpenoids.
| Known compounds | Coumarin, scopoletin, dihydrocoumarin, amburosides A to H; flavonoids, phenolic acids, triterpenoids (Silveira et al. 2022). |
|---|---|
| Traditional use | Bark and seeds in the folk medicine of north-east Brazil and Bolivia (Chacobo, Tocana); varied uses, not detailed here. |
| State of research | In vitro and animal studies; the 2022 review reports no clinical trial and calls for toxicity studies. No health claim is authorised in the EU. |
Good to know
- Coumarin, present in the bark and seeds, can damage the liver in sensitive people; EFSA has set a tolerable daily intake and the EU limits coumarin in certain foods (BfR; ANSES 2021).
Name and range of the tree
The pouch prints the name as “Emburana cearensis”. Botanical databases do not list that name: GBIF and the Kew checklist (WCVP) accept Amburana cearensis. Emburana is the supplier’s market name; it is not among the common names that GBIF records for the species. The Kew checklist records the tree as native to Bolivia, Paraguay, north-western Argentina and northern, north-eastern, south-eastern and west-central Brazil. In Brazil its recorded Portuguese names include cumaru-de-cheiro and cerejeira.
How the seeds look
The photos show flat, oval seeds mottled from beige to dark purple, mixed with a few pale, papery fragments. In the photos, the seeds differ slightly in size and colour. The shop also lists whole emburana bark from Brazil from the same species.
Storing your botanicals
Keep dried plants in their tightly closed pouch or in an airtight jar, away from light, moisture and heat. Powders absorb moisture easily, so close them again straight away. For extracts, tinctures and capsules, follow the instructions on the label and the printed date.
Before using a plant
- Keep plants out of the reach of children and pets.
- If you are pregnant or breastfeeding, or taking any medication, ask a doctor or pharmacist first: many plants interact with medicines.
- Stop immediately if you have an allergic reaction or feel unwell.
