What is Malagueta? Puerto Rico’s Medicinal Tree
In Puerto Rico, you can find the Malagueta tree. It is cultivated for ornamental use and medicinal benefits. We know it more from its use in preparing Alcolado. Learn more about Malagueta, how to identify it and its medicinal uses.
You can find the Malagueta in Puerto Rico and the Antilles. It is sown for ornamental purposes or for its use to make alcolado.
In Puerto Rico, Malagueta is mistakenly called Eucalyptus. However, it is very rare to see the Eucalyptus (Globulus) in Puerto Rico. Learn more about the differences between Eucalyptus and Malagueta.
What’s does the Malagueta Tree look like?
Malagueta grows up to 40 feet tall. It has a smooth trunk that comes off in strips like the Guava tree. You’re easily identifying it by the characteristic smell of alcolado when you crush the leaves in your hand. The aroma is composed of terpenes and has a clove-like fragrance. The elliptical leaves have a dark green color with a semi-glossy tone.
The Malagueta tree is native to the Antilles. It belongs to the botanical family of the Mirtáceas, a relative of guava and pepper. Malagueta is known as West Indian Bay and its scientific name is Pimenta Racemosa. It blooms during winter and spring. Fruits usually ripen during summer and autumn. The tree is slow growing, with very deep roots and fairly long life. In addition, there is a variety of Malagueta with a refreshing lemon aroma.
In Puerto Rico, there is even a law that protects the Malagueta tree. Law No. 18 of 1941 ordering the Secretary of the Department of Agriculture to protect the Malagueta plantations and increase the cultivation of that tree.
A very close cousin of malagueta is the Pimienta Dulce tree (Pimenta dioica). It is known by many names such as Allspice, Jamaican Pepper and Pimienta Guayabita. Malagueta seeds are toxic but Allspice seeds are used as a seasoning in the kitchen.
What’s it used for?
The leaves of the Malagueta contain Eugenol. Eugenol is a compound, which is also obtained from clove, that has an analgesic and anesthetic effect. It’s used to relieve toothache. This is why malagueta is so effective at relieving headaches and muscle pains.
alcohol with malagueta leavesAlcolado
In Puerto Rico, its leaves are used to prepare a traditional pain relief remedy called Alcolado. Alcolado, also called Alcoholado or Bay Rum, is a mixture of alcohol, Malagueta leaves and natural extracts such as menthol and eucalyptus. It is used locally to relieve fever, muscle and headache pains, insect bites and more. It’s even used for energy cleansing, spiritual protection and to cool the body.
Caribbean Soaps has been preparing artisanal alcolado for 19 years. Made in Puerto Rico since 2001. The company offers artisanal alcolado made in small quantities, with eucalyptus and mint essential oils and fresh Malagueta leaves added before bottling.
The most well-known brand of commercial Alcoholado is Alcoholado Superior 70.
Essential Oil
The essential oil, also called Bay Rum, is obtained by steam distillation of the leaves of the Malagueta. The oil has a very long shelf life. It is a fairly complex compound, with over 23 components. Making it difficult to synthesize in the lab.
Bay Rum from the island of DominicaThe island of Dominica is one of the largest exporters of the oil. In Creole, the malagueta tree is called in Bwa Den. Derived from the French “Bois d’lnde” which translates to Indian wood.
Soaps, Perfumes and Aftershave
Essential oil is used for the manufacture of soaps, after shave and colognes such as “Bay Rum”.
“Bay Rum” is an after shave for men that is made from a combination of Malagueta oil, citrus oils and spices, alcohol and water.
