A recent study has found that the leaves of the Eugenia uniflora Linn, commonly known as the Surinam cherry, is a potent antioxidant, and it possessed astringent, antibacterial, and anti-inflammatory properties. These findings, published in BMC Complementary and Alternative Medicine, were the result of multiple assays to determine its phytochemical properties and evaluate its various health benefits.
Researchers concluded that both CE and fractions of E. uniflora leaves contained antibacterial, anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and analgesic activity.
