More information

St Thomas wood is also called "St Thomas wood", "Indian wood", "allspice", "all-spice", "four-spice", "Saint-Thomas bay" or "bay -rum" is a plant of the Myrtaceae family (such as Eucalyptus, Myrtles, Guava, Clove, Melaleucas, Manukas, Feijoas and about 100 other species).

It is a tree about 20 m high which produces fragrant flowers and leaves.

It is cultivated in all the tropics but is native to the Caribbean.

St Thomas wood has a very important place in the American pharmacopoeia.

Its leaves, leathery and fragrant, distilled in rum, give "Bay Rum", a tonic lotion used as a friction for rheumatism, colds and in local massage by athletes.

"Bay Rum" was originally made in Saint Thomas (United States Virgin Islands).
