In Jamaica Pimento Leaves are used mainly as a tea to treat bacterial and fungal infections, reducing blood sugars and occasionally for rheumatism. They are reputed to be an effective deterrant for the urge to smoke; chewing a few leaves is supposed to reduce the cravings. They most certainly act as a digestive and calm upset stomachs from over indulgence. They do not stop morning sickness or motion sickness however. Traditionally, in the Caribbean, women infuse the leaves in white rum for menstrual pain. The leaves contain trace amounts of Eugenol which is a weak anti microbial agent.
