Myroxylon peruiferum
South American tree producing Peru balsam, a popular folk remedy for skin conditions and wounds.
Myroxylon peruiferum (Peru balsam) is a traditional South American remedy used topically for wound healing, skin infections, and parasitic conditions. Its key active compounds include benzyl benzoate, benzyl cinnamate, eugenol, and vanillin, which contribute to antimicrobial, anti-inflammatory, and antiparasitic effects. Evidence is limited to small clinical and laboratory studies (Level C), supporting its use in dermatological applications.
Peru balsam exhibits antimicrobial activity via disruption of microbial cell membranes and inhibition of biofilm formation, attributed to benzyl benzoate and eugenol. Its anti-inflammatory effects are mediated through inhibition of cyclooxygenase (COX) and lipoxygenase (LOX) pathways, reducing prostaglandin and leukotriene synthesis. Eugenol also acts as a local anesthetic by blocking voltage-gated sodium channels. Additionally, benzyl cinnamate and vanillin may enhance wound healing by stimulating fibroblast proliferation and collagen deposition.
