For millennia, South American indigenous communities in the Amazon have harnessed the power of annatto for body painting during ceremonies and as a natural shield against the sun and insect bites. They prepare a paste using the seeds of the red fruit, applying it to their bodies. Additionally, annatto leaves have played a role in traditional medicine for thousands of years, contributing to both the prevention and treatment of various ailments.
