Muirapauma 10:1

History:

Muirapauma, sometimes spelled Marapauma or Muirapuama, is a South American small tree (or bush, growing to only five feet in height) that is native to the Amazon rain forests and predominantly the northern and northeastern parts of Brazil. It produces white flowers with a jasmine-like fragrance that is at once aromatic and pungent. Muirapauma is one of the most active botanicals with a long history of traditional use as an energy tonic, general health tonic and support for libido for both men and women. Amazon natives of the Rio Negro area have used it for centuries as an aphrodisiac, and many different native populations have used it in a tea, which is slightly bitter (but can be sweetened)  for vitality. In Notas Sobre Plantas Brasileires (1930), M. Penna claimed that Muirapauma supported the nervous system, libido, as well as gastronintestinal and circulatory health; and the herb has been listed in the Brazilian Pharmacopœia since the 1950s. In 1993, D. Schwontkowski wrote in his Herbs of the Amazon that Muirapauma not only supported a healthy libido, but also menstrual and premenstrual health. Muirapauma was brought back to Europe by explorers who noted its indigenous uses, and it became part of herbal therapies in England, where it remains in the British Herbal Pharmacopœia for libido, nerve and menstrual health. Scientists began searching for the source of Muirapauma's efficacy in the 1920s, and discovered that it was rich in fatty acids, essential oils, plant sterols, triterpenes (including lupeol) and an alkaloid named muirapaumine. Further research in the 1980s, went on to find sessquiterpenes, monoterpenes, alpha- and beta-pinene, camphene and beta-sitosterol, among many other active constituents.
