Ethnomedical Uses: Today, Iporurú is recommended highly for
arthritis and rheumatism remedies in local herbal pharmacies in Peru
and throughout the Amazon, the bark or leaves are tinctured
(generally with the local rum, called aguardente or pinga) as a
local remedy for rheumatism, arthritis, colds, and muscle pains. It
is well known for relieving the symptoms of osteoarthritis, and in
aiding flexibility and range of motion. In addition, locals prepare
the leaves into a decoction for coughs. Throughout Peru it is
regarded as a remedy for impotency as well as for balancing blood
sugar levels in diabetics. Iporurú has been gaining popularity among
North American athletes and health practitioners recently; reports
have it that Iporurú provides nutritional support to muscle and
joint structures. Here in the U.S., its reported analgesic and
anti-inflammatory properties have begun to make it popular also to
those suffering from arthritis and other joint problems. |
| How to use/ Preparation: The therapeutic dosage is reported to be 1 cup of a standard infusion twice daily. The traditional preparation calls for one tablespoon of powder leaves to be macerated in 2 cups of water for one day, and 2-3 doses (of 1/2 cup) are drunk daily. For diabetes, one tablespoon of powder are infused in 4 cups of water, and one cup is drunk after each meal. |
