- Pata de vaca is derived from the leaf of Bauhinia forficata, a flowering tree native to Brazil and Peru. It has traditionally been used to treat high blood sugar levels in diabetics.
- At this time, there is a lack of high-quality evidence to support Bauhinia for any medicinal use. Further research is needed.
