Craveiro-do-mato, as it is popularly known in the Southern Region of Brazil, is an aromatic tree species, with popular use for medicines, condiments, and flavoring of beverages due to its flavor very similar to cloves. The Brazilian species has been widely used in traditional medicine for the treatment of various ailments, in addition to being linked to other traditional practices, such as the use of wood for internal carpentry works.
