GUARANA Paullinia cupana var. sorbilis
Famed tonic/stimulant of the Brazilian Amazon. Natives insist their daily dose of Guarana serves as far more than a powerful stimulant, claiming it acts as both an aphrodisiac as well as a treatment for headache, fever and cramps. The high content of tetra-methyl-xanthine, hypoxanthine, guaranine, theophylline and theobromine accounts for its intensely pleasurable stimulant effects, which propel the mind and body for up to six hours. Prescribed as a replacement drug for those who cannot tolerate coffee and tea, but its unusual saponin content (limbonine) underlies the longterm tonic effect (Ginseng owes its activity to saponins). Known as a healthy stimulant and perfect sustaining food substitute during fasts and diets, it’s also fun! About 1/2 to 1 tablespoon is a dose. One of the crops of Amazonia with positive ecological status: supports the peoples and habitats of the Amazon.
