CHUCHUHUASI [chew-chew-huh-wah-see]
Chuchuhuasi is the South American Indian name for the rain forest tree known botanically as Maytenus macrocarpa. Its home is the steamy jungles of Peru, where it is well known and used by the people, especially in and around Iquitos, Peru on the Amazon river. Because of the remoteness of this area, its use was unknown to the rest of the world until recent times.
Yet, it is now, perhaps, the most popularly used rain forest herb in Peru. Life in a jungle environment means dealing with infections, bites and diseases of many kinds. Remedies must be found and used. Chuchuhuasi serves this multi-purpose function, and it is commonly taken in the liquid extract form. Among Chuchuhuasi's strongest properties is the building of immunity and, at the same time, enhancing sexual activity and function.
The ability of Chuchuhuasi to do this has attracted strong scientific interest. This is accomplished by using the root bark as a liquid and taking orally three times per day. Rather than just working on the relief of symptoms, Chuchuhuasi apparently works on the actual cause of arthritis and, in this manner, restores joints to working order. This, of course, has aroused considerable excitement in the scientific community.
The same can be said regarding Chuchuhuasi's anti-tumor properties. The USDA [United States Department of Agriculture] has isolated the alkaloid [active bitter compound] maytansine as being most prominent in the compounds believed to be active in the shrinkage of tumors. As if all this would not be enough to recommend the daily use of Chuchuhuasi, it is also applied to the skin to repel jungle mosquitos.
Now, the mosquitos of the Peruvian jungle are rumored, by the local inhabitants, for the benefit of tourists, to be, So large you can hear them when they walk, and Senior, they may even possess backbones! At any rate, accounts of their ferocity are legendary and Chuchuhuasi undoubtedly a welcome remedy.
DOSE | 40 to 80 drops 3 times per day as maintenance. 1 tsp. 3 times per day for more serious cases. Externally as given above.

To All Expecting Mothers,
I found Pure Herbs about five years ago and since then I have been helped several times. The true test came when I got pregnant last year.First, I started taking Crampbark & False Unicorn Root to increase my chance to become pregnant. Within two month we found out we were going to have a baby in October 2005. Throughout my pregnancy, I took P.N.-W, Red Raspberry Leaf and Chuchuhuasi [for my immune system] three times per day. I understand everybody is different and can have a good or bad pregnancy experience, but I’ll tell you one thing I had a fantastic one! I wouldn’t want to know how it would have been without the herbs! My own mother couldn’t believe how great I was feeling because both of her pregnancies she had the typical symptoms. I personally never got sick, I had no cravings and no other problems. I had energy from the beginning to the end. During the last six weeks I took L.6W for an easier labor. Although I did have a difficult labor I’m still amazed at how I kept myself going for over 48 hours on my feet and 29 hours of natural labor to a nine pound baby. Let me tell you that hours later I felt great! I never lost my energy or my smile. After labor I didn’t have any pain from my uterus contracting back. I also highly recommend to you Papaya Mints Extract for your colic baby. After about ten or twelve days my sons “gassy” problem disappeared and his digestive system is working 110%. He was only three weeks old when I started him on herbs. While nursing I have been taking Basil, M. & B.-A, Protein Extract and Chuchuhuasi to make my milk a better quality. Good luck to all mothers and expecting mothers. Don’t be afraid of taking theses herbs. They are our blessings. Thank you Pure Herbs for saving our health!
