Mesua ferrea, enchantingly known in Thailand as “Bunnak” and regionally as สารภีดอย or นากบุต, radiates legacy not just from its fragrant white blossoms but from centuries of healing practice stretching across Southeast Asia. Revered in traditional Thai medicine and celebrated in the rituals of diverse cultures, the flower of Mesua ferrea has become emblematic of the delicate intersection between cultural heritage and emerging biomedical science. As contemporary researchers begin to illuminate the mechanisms behind its renowned therapeutic roles, Bunnak stands at the fascinating crossroads of ancient wisdom and scientific validation—inviting a new generation to rediscover the potential within a single, aromatic bloom.
