Chuchuhuasa is a tree native to the Amazon rainforests of South America, particularly Peru, Ecuador, and Colombia. It has been used in traditional medicine by indigenous communities for centuries for its powerful anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and energizing properties. The bark is most commonly used, as it contains a variety of bioactive compounds.

It grows in the lowland regions of the Amazon rainforest. The tree can grow up to 30 meters tall and has reddish-brown bark that is very hard.

It is also commonly used to pickle it in alcohol (called aguardiete). Maceration produces a dark red drink that is popular for its aphrodisiac and energizing properties.

Chuchuhuasa contains:

  • Quinones - contribute to anti-inflammatory and antioxidant effects
  • Alkaloids - support the nervous system and relieve pain
  • Triterpenes - have anti-inflammatory and immunomodulatory effects
  • Antioxidants - protect cells from oxidative stress

Dosage: 1 - 2 tablespoons (approx. 5 grams) per 1 liter of water. Boil for 15 to 20 minutes and drink warm throughout the day.

If you are taking medication or have health problems, consult a doctor before starting use.

Warning: Chuchuhuasa is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women and people sensitive to plants from the Celastraceae family.
