Brazilian Ginseng, "Trembling Back"

The Chuchuhuasi Tree bark is a revered Plant Ally to the indigenous tribe of the Amazon.

Sometime called “Brazilian Ginseng”, Chuchuhuasi is an Adaptogen used for centuries as a potent general tonic, to boost sexual energy and to teach resilience.

A sacred tree to the Native tribes of South America, Chuchuhuasi is often used during “Dietas”: before, during and after ceremonies with Plant Teachers. The curative and spiritual qualities of Chuchuhuasi taken daily guide and empower its users to handle their transformational journey with ease.

Chuchuhuasi is a powerful ally to bring balance and empower us into a renewed state of aliveness, helping us to handle every day stress and to move through trauma and anxiety.

Traditionally used as a potent Aphrodisiac, many Amazonian people drink a shot of Chuchuhuasi tonic each morning to promote stamina, sexual function and the libido.

Ally of the Women Health, Chuchuhuasi can also balance and strengthen female hormonal systems, bring regularity to irregular period and ease menstrual pains and cramps.

Chuchuhuasi translates as “trembling back”, refering to its traditional use for back pain, arthritis, rheumatism, from which it is seen to be a true Master Healer from the point of view of the “Curanderos” shamans of the Amazon.

To this day, the bark is soaked in sugarcane rum to make the drink known as “Go Juice”, which is served in bars and to tourists to give them the stamina for long jungle treks and to relieve muscle aches and pains.

Recipe:

This method ensures a potent brew every time.

Ingredients:

  • 2 tablespoons of Chuchuhuasi bark
  • 1L of water
  • Vegetal milk (optional)
  • Extra synergistic herbs (optional, see “synergies”)

Instructions:

  1. Add 1-2 tablespoons of Chuchuhuasi bark to 1L of water.
  2. With a lid on, allow the mixture to simmer gently for 30-40 minutes, or until the liquid takes on a deep, rich color.
  3. For a creamier texture, mix in vegetal milk. A 1:1 ratio of milk to water works well.
  4. After simmering, let the Chuchuhuasi settle at the bottom of the pot or strain it out.
  5. The used Chuchuhuasi can be reused several times. For subsequent uses, extend the simmering time. When the liquid no longer darkens, compost the Chuchuhuasi and start fresh.

Tip:

To easily incorporate Chuchuhuasi into your daily routine, retain a portion of the liquid and bark in your pot after serving. Store it in the refrigerator or freezer until the next use. Refresh with additional bark every few days and compost only when it's fully expended.
