| The jungle is a harsh environment, with high heat, humidity, bacteria, fungus, mold and untold numbers of parasites. But, like many ecosystems on Earth, nature provides solutions for dealing with such adversaries. The bark and leaves of certain Amazonian plants provide a variety of properties perfectly suited to assist those living in harsh conditions, whether they are sweltering rainforests or the stress and pollution-filled cities of modern life.
We have sourced some of the most incredible herbs the Amazon has to offer. With our convenient, tea-cut or powdered form, you can tap into the power of these superherbs and feel the results. Here's why.

| Pau d'Arco (Tabebuia Avellanedae or Tabebuia Impetiginosa) is the inner bark of a majestic flowering Amazonian tree. The pau d'Arco tree grows up to 30 meters in height and the base of the tree can measure up to 3 meters in diameter. Indigenous people noticed that the pau d'Arco tree does not rot, even when it is dead. Pau d'Arco bark contains intrinsic chemical factors that fight fungus and mold, even in some of the wettest environments on Earth. Pau d'Arco has shown promising benefits in stimulating the immune system, improving toxic-blood relation conditions, and helping eliminate candida. |

| Used for hundreds of years by the Incan people as a health supplement, Hercampuri (Gentianella alborosea) is a powerful herb that can help blood circulation. Most commonly, Hercampuri has been used as a liver detoxifier and to control cholesterol in the body. It has been known to accelerate people's metabolism and stimulate bile production. This can help your body shed excess pounds. This relaxing tea has a powerful flavor that will help you feel strong throughout the day. |

| Chanca Piedra's (Phyllanthus niruir) name means "stone breaker" due to its ability to break up calcium phosphate crystals (bad calcium). This superherb's historical use in achieving excellent gall bladder and kidney health is well-studied. In South America, Chanca Piedra is also known for many other healing properties including helping malaria symptoms, fever, flu, alleviating liver stagnation, improving digestion, and even as a mild laxative and pain reliever. |

| Cat's claw (Una Da Gato or Uncaria tomentosa) is one of the most revered medicinal superherbs in all of the South American Amazonian rainforest. The alkaloids found in cat's claw have been documented to nutritionally support the immune system in a variety of ways. Cat's Claw has often been noted for its impressive anti-viral capacity, as well as it ability to bring balance to an overstressed immune system. |

| Sacha Jergon is a perennial herb that grows wild in the Amazon basin. The active elements of this herb are found in the tuberous off-white colored root. In its native habitat the root is pulverized in cold water and then drunk immediately for the highest level of therapeutic benefit. This herb earned its name due to its effectiveness in combating snake venom. Sacha Jergon is fascinating in its ability to provide a key to unlocking the potential of many of the extraordinarily rich herbs of Amazonia. Sacha Jergon may be used in conjunction with any combination of herbs to help improve immunity, cleanse the body, rejuvenate the liver and restore optimal health and well-being. We are proud to offer this herb in a powder form that is easy to mix into any beverage. |
