Canarium vulgare leaves (from the Kenari / Java Almond Tree) are used in traditional Indonesian and Southeast Asian herbal medicine. The leaves are known for their anti-inflammatory, antimicrobial, digestive-soothing, and antioxidant properties. Traditionally, leaf decoctions are used to relieve stomach upset, reduce inflammation, calm skin irritation, support wound cleansing, and promote general wellness.
The leaves contain phenolic compounds, flavonoids, tannins, and natural antioxidants that contribute to their medicinal effects. Preclinical studies indicate mild anticancer potential, antimicrobial activity, pain-relieving properties, and liver-supportive actions. The leaves are also used in traditional village medicine to help with fever, digestive imbalance, and mild infections.
