Pracaxi Oil

The Pracaxi Tree, also known as the Pracachy Tree, is a large, flowering tree with foliage that forms a beautiful canopy. The leaves of each branch consist of many smaller leaflets that resemble a feather in appearance. The tree is highly prized by natives of the northeastern region of South America. For generations, they have considered Pracaxi Oil to be a miracle oil.
