In herbal medicine systems in Peru, huacapurana is also recommended for arthritis and rheumatism, diarrhea, as a tonic, and for other feverish conditions. The Witoto Indians in the area use the pulverized bark of C. laurifolia to treat wounds. Locals in the Loreto district of Peru have used a bark tea of C. comosa as a postpartum tonic.
