We grind the bark of Croton echioides to make our muira puama powder. The little Brazilian tree known as muira puama, or marapuama, is endemic to the northeast. Its stem bark is used as a tonic and health supplement across the Amazon and is thought to be an alternative to Ptychopetalum olacoides. Although it may also be decocted, encapsulated, and administered topically, muira puama bark powder is usually made as a tincture.
The Amazonian rain forest has the understory tree Muira puama. It is a 15-foot (5-meter) plant that has jasmine-scented, white blossoms. The bark and root are used in the jungle's traditional herbal remedies. It is possible to drink it as a tea, but a tincture would work wonders. Take the tincture with a tiny bit of warm water that you've squeezed some lemon juice into. This promotes the healthy tannins' absorption. A capsule is an additional practical form. The Amazonian indigenous peoples that utilize muira puama blend it with catuaba and let the concoction steep in warm water for a whole night to produce an amber infusion.
Pour alcohol over the powdered bark to create a tincture that may be used topically. Apply it diluted with water or a carrier oil to the skin. For the chemicals in Muira puama bark powder to be released, it has to be tinctured in alcohol. Then, it may be consumed with tea or water.
Muira puama is used as an aphrodisiac and to prevent sexual problems, as well as to stimulate enthusiasm in sexual activities. In addition, it is used as a general tonic and an appetite stimulant, and it is used to treat rheumatism, upset stomach, menstruation problems, paralysis from poliomyelitis, and joint discomfort.
◉ Improve Sexual Health:- The Amazonian people have been using this plant, sometimes called Potency wood, to cure a variety of age-related health issues.
In the Brazilian market, Muira Puama is advertised as a "energetic tonic, body stimulant, and aphrodisiac." This is due to the fact that it may help men experiencing age-related issues regain their desire and maintain good erectile responses. The primary cause of Muira Puama's aphrodisiac qualities is the plant's "sterol" content. The building blocks of sex hormones like testosterone are these sterols.
One research found that Muira Puama may relax the corpus cavernosal, the part of the body that acts like a sponge and traps blood during an erection. A powerful and robust erectile response is the consequence of increased blood flow toward the penis caused by this relaxation.
Dr. Jacques Maynberg performed two research. In these trials, males with reduced libido and decreased erectile function were administered this plant's extract. They were administered the extract for a period of two weeks. According to both trials, 60–70% of the men who took the extract reported significantly higher libidos and better erection maintenance.
◉ Improve Memory:- The Amazonian aboriginal people have been using Muira Puama for millennia as a treatment for a weak central nervous system. Due to its effects on the neurological system, this plant has been the subject of years of research. According to a research, it exhibits a number of CNS functions, including a little anxiogenic impact. This implies that it may aid in CNS stimulation, resulting in improved cognitive and physical endurance.
Additionally, Muira Puama can enhance memory in senior people. Rats were split into two groups for one animal study carried out by Brazilian researchers in 2004. The herb was given to one group for a few days, but not to the other. After that, the mice in both groups underwent a memory test. When compared to the control group, the mice given the herb treatment did better on the memory test, the researchers discovered.
Additionally, studies have shown that Muira Puama may have a memory-boosting effect because it inhibits acetylcholinesterase, an enzyme that degrades the neurotransmitter acetylcholine. This neurotransmitter is essential for memory and thought processes. Muira Puama is thought to offer therapeutic benefits for people with memory problems and cognitive impairments by safeguarding acetylcholinesterase.
◉ Reduce Risk of Various Brain Related Issues:- Maintaining your mental health is essential to living a long and healthy life, and Muira Puama may be quite beneficial in that regard. Muira Puama extract contains antioxidant substances that are especially advantageous to neurological tissues.
The effects of Muira Puama extract on brain tissues and health were investigated in a few animal experiments (Silva, 2009). According to the study's findings, Muira Puama may reduce free radicals in the striatum, hypothalamus, and cerebellum, among other brain areas. Additionally, the researchers discovered that Muira Puama could be able to enhance memory retention and lessen the effects of several poisons.
Muira Puama's neuroprotective properties could be helpful in the treatment of Alzheimer's disease. Muira Puama has also been found in animal experiments (Figueiró, 2010) to lessen cognitive impairment associated with Alzheimer's disease. This study also shown that the plant's extract may lessen the plaques themselves. For those with this kind of cognitive impairment, it promotes greater brain healing and functioning.
◉ Acts As An Adaptogen:- Natural compounds called adaptogens may support the body's health while it is under physical or emotional stress. For some individuals, chronic stress may be very difficult to handle, and if it is not, it can even result in major health problems like anxiety and depression. Muira Puama has been utilized as an adaptogen for centuries. Studies conducted recently have also shown that this herb may be highly beneficial in treating and lowering the risk of mental health issues associated to stress.
In one research (Piato, 2010), participants who were depressed were administered the Muira Puama extract. The result demonstrates that this extract inhibits the increase in stress-related hormones that follows stress exposure. Additionally, this extract helps to improve glucose intolerance brought on by stress. Muira Puama extract has been shown in another research (Keller, 2016) to be quite beneficial in easing the symptoms of depression associated with stress. The researchers claim that Muira Puama's capacity to keep the HPA axis from overstimulating is the reason for its stress-relieving qualities.
