Mocumbi tree bark (cortex) is a traditional remedy used in Angola to treat disorders of the respiratory system. Clinical studies and tests have reportedly verified the plant has an excellent emollient action on the upper respiratory tract, where it acts like a soothing moisturizer to parched tissues. This is possibly why this botanical has such a reputation for treating dry cough, sore throat, and difficult breathing.

Mocumbi has a reputed anti-spasmodic action on the bronchus and bronchiole, which has relevance for the management of both ordinary coughs and chronic asthma. The traditional understanding of this botanical is that it excludes any sedative effect on the central nervous system, and it does not inhibit the production of mucus. Mocumbi has often been used to eliminate excessive secretions in the respiratory tract, where it is considered "draining" and "mucolytic"and it is also believed to provide a supplementary benefit to the treatment of colds and flus, where it seems to act as a broad spectrum anti-microbial agent with gentle and effective action.

Summary: Mocumbi is recommended traditionally for cough and catarrh, colds and flu, and as an auxiliary aid in the management of asthmatic conditions. It is also known as a general protective for the respiratory system.
