Gumbo Limbo
Gumbo Limbo, also known as Palo Mulato or the “Tourist Tree” for its peeling red bark, is a powerful healing tree native to the Caribbean, Central America, and parts of South America. Used by Indigenous healers, Gumbo Limbo bark is valued for its ability to reduce inflammation, relieve pain, and support skin and joint health.
