The Calabash, scientifically known as Crescentia cujete has been used as remedy for several illnesses in various countries. A study done by some students in the Philippines to determine the active ingredients of the Calabash tree for medical uses showed that Calabash fruit and leaf extracts contain flavonoids such as quercetin and anthraquinone, the important phytochemicals for antiangiogenic activities, a process that inhibits the growth and development of new blood vessels in the body. Researchers claim that the Calabash could help prevent the spread of cancer cells and it can also be a cure for diabetic patients. The Calabash tree, with its flowers and fruits appearing directly on older parts of the trunk, would be arrestingly remarkable in any setting. Its place of origin is uncertain because the species has been cultivated in the Yucatan Peninsula since pre-Hispanic times. The Calabash tree grows naturally on the Caribbean Island and from Mexico through Central America to Northern regions of South America. It has been introduced into India from South America. Nowadays it is cultivated as a backyard tree in several countries across the world.
