P. ipecacuanha occurs in the rainforests of Meso and South America. It was traditionally used in the Brazilian folk medicine. In the seventeenth century, the plant was brought by traders to France, and soon it found application in Europe as treatment against dysentery. The British physician Thomas Dover invented a special preparation P. ipecacuanha that was named Dover s powder after him. It consisted of Ipecacuanha root, opium, and potassium sulphate and was used as diaphoretic and medicine against cold and fever.
