Pimenta pseudocaryophyllus, popularly known as cataia, craveiro or louro-cravo, is a species from the Myrtaceae family largely distributed in pantropical and subtropical regions[1][2] ( Paula et al., 2012). In folk medicine, the leaves of P. pseudocaryophyllus are used to prepare a refreshing drink known for its diuretic, sedative and aphrodisiac actions.[3] The population of Guaraqueçaba, in the state of Paraná, Brazil, uses an infusion of P. pseudocaryophyllus leaves in the form of tea to treat the predisposition to arthritical and gouty affections of the joints, fever and other diseases.[4] Studies about P. pseudocaryophyllus describe it as having anxiolytic and sedative action[5] and antioxidant activity.[6]
