Achiote is a little-known herb found in Central and South America. For hundreds of years, achiote has been useful in preventing a myriad of conditions. 

Achiote leaves have anti-inflammatory properties. When a decoction is made from achiote leaves and alcohol and applied topically to the skin, it soothes a number of skin disorders, infections and damage including rashes, burns, cuts and other ailments.

The leaves' astringent or anti-inflammatory properties also make it a potent digestive aid. An achiote herbal infusion can help to stop diarrhea and alleviate the symptoms of dysentery.
