Pareira brava, also known as Chondrodendron Tomentosum, is used as a micro-nutritional Homeopathic potency (animal product). Homeopathic potencies accredit their strength and efficacy to the electromagnetic signatures of the original substrate; these are scientifically created dilutions and succussions of medicines such that generally not even a molecule of the original substrate or medicine is present in the medicine.

As a Homeopathic or used simply as a micro-nutritional, Pareira brava has demonstrated effectiveness against the following symptomology: urinary symptoms, renal colic, prostatic affections and catarrh of bladder. (Boericke)
