The leaves of Psidii guajavae L. (Myrtaceae) (Guava) are popularly used in tropical countries to prepare a remedy for the treatment of patients suffering of liquid stools; this traditional use is now scientifically supported by the existence in the leaf of a group of quercetin-derived flavonoids with intestinal anti-motility, spasmolytic and anti-inflammatory properties. Consequently, herbal products prepared with Psidii guajavae folium are now clinically used to treat acute diarrheic disease and some are commercialized as phytodrugs.
