In Malaysia and Tanzania, they were applied for the treatment of skin diseases and parasitic infections, in Africa for wounds and ulcers, while in the Comoros the bark was used to improve the healing of bone injuries. Modern studies support the use of fruits, leaves, and bark in traditional medicine, as they exhibit anti-inflammatory, anti-diabetic, anti-parasitic (against Leishmania infantum), and antimicrobial activity. The fruits contain a high concentration of fatty acids, phenolic compounds, alkaloid saponins and coumarins, and significant percentages of sugars.<\/p>\n<p><em><span style=\"color: #ff0000;\"><strong>(Note: Ethnobotanical data regarding the medicinal uses of plants must be handled with caution, and their application should be carried out exclusively under medical supervision)<\/strong><\/span><\/em>.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_empty_space empty_h=&#8221;2&#8243;][\/vc_accordion_tab][vc_accordion_tab gutter_size=&#8221;0&#8243; column_padding=&#8221;0&#8243; title=&#8221;References&#8221; tab_id=&#8221;1771600746693-6-41771656793597&#8243; slug=&#8221;references&#8221;][vc_row_inner][vc_column_inner width=&#8221;1\/1&#8243;][vc_column_text text_lead=&#8221;small&#8221; uncode_shortcode_id=&#8221;138654&#8243; el_class=&#8221;micro-text&#8221;]<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/www.worldfloraonline.org\/taxon\/wfo-0000620765\">https:\/\/www.worldfloraonline.org<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org\/wiki\/Cordia_myxa\">https:\/\/en.wikipedia.org<\/a><\/li>\n<li><a href=\"https:\/\/tropical.theferns.info\/viewtropical.php?id=Cordia+myxa\">https:\/\/tropical.theferns.info<\/a><\/li>\n<li>Al-Ati, T.
