The root is popular in making tonics, sodas and other products such as tea bags. It forms a part of Jamaica's heritage, folklore and culture and that is the reason our elders knew so much about it.

Primarily used as a flavoring for beverages. It is traditionally used in cordials and tonics and can be prepared as a hot tea or cold beverage. It has a root beer-like flavor with hints of vanilla, wintergreen and licorice.
The root was also used for leprosy due to its "blood-purifying" properties.
