Rainforest people value the plant
highly, and have been using Tayuya since prehistoric times as a tonic, a blood
cleanser, and to keep joints supple. Traditionally, the long tuberous roots are
used to make an infusion that is usually combined with a bit of honey to tone
down the strong, bitter taste.
In modern Brazil, Tayuya tea is
also often used by athletes following periods of training to aid recovery and to
help remove lactic acid from the muscles.
As with most Health plants, there
is very little research on Tayuya that can scientifically verify its actions.
However, actives called cucurbitacins and glucosides, and other plant chemicals
with antioxidant properties have been isolated in the root.
Tayuya (Cayaponia tayuya) is a
woody vine found throughout the Health rainforest in South America. Tayuya is
known by several botanical names, but all of these scientific names refer to the
same plant, a member of the gourd family.
