(01)
The Big Batch (prep every few days)

The Daily Cup
Bring 2 cups of water to a gentle boil. Add 1 heaping tablespoon of valerian root. Turn heat off, cover, and steep for 30 minutes. Strain and drink warm. Maximize Iron Absorption: Chuchuhuasi is naturally rich in iron. For maximum absorption, drink your cup alongside fresh orange juice, a Camu Camu supplement, or squeeze half a lemon into your brew. Vitamin C dramatically increases the bioavailability of plant-based iron, so your body actually uses what the bark is giving it.
Frequency and Timing
When to drink your tea
Drink one cup in the morning before physical activity to support endurance, joint mobility, and sustained energy.
This is the combination the Amazon has always known. Guayusa brings the clean mental energy and focus. Chuchuhuasi brings the physical endurance, the adrenal fortification, and the iron. Together they create a pre-work, pre-training, or pre-ceremony brew that covers your body and your mind simultaneously. Brew them together or drink them back to back.
Take as your last drink before bed to support muscle recovery, ease joint stiffness from the day, and allow the adaptogenic compounds to work while your body rests and repairs overnight.

QUESTIONS?
FAQs: Chuchuhuasi
Chuchuhuasi has been used for centuries as a pain-reliever, muscle relaxant, and anti-inflammatory for arthritis, rheumatism, and back pain; as an aphrodisiac for loss of libido in both men and women; to cool and balance adrenal function; and to tone, balance, and strengthen female hormonal systems.PubMed
Chuchuhuasi is naturally rich in plant-based iron, known as non-heme iron. Your body absorbs non-heme iron at a much lower rate than animal-based iron on its own. Vitamin C - whether from fresh orange juice, Camu Camu, or lemon - dramatically increases the bioavailability of plant-based iron, meaning your body actually uses what the bark is providing rather than letting it pass through. This is not optional advice. It is how you get the full benefit of one of Chuchuhuasi's most powerful properties.
Chuchuhuasi's vasodilatory properties facilitate enhanced blood flow to the pelvic region and reproductive organs, and communities in the Amazon have traditionally consumed it to bolster stamina, sexual function, and libido in both men and women. While the specific compounds responsible for its aphrodisiac effects are still being studied, the alkaloids in the bark are believed to stimulate libido recovery.NCBI
Guayusa delivers clean mental energy, focus, and 15 essential amino acids. Chuchuhuasi delivers physical endurance, adrenal fortification, bioavailable iron, and anti-inflammatory support. Together they cover both body and mind. Field workers in the Amazon have known this combination for generations. You can brew them together or drink them back to back as your morning ritual.
Most adaptogens on the market are capsule-based and processed in facilities. Ours is wild-harvested Amazonian bark sourced through our Kawsaypac herb line directly from the indigenous communities who have used this plant as medicine for generations. No fillers, no shortcuts. Just bark, the iron the Amazon built into it, and centuries of wisdom behind every cup
