Mimosa Hostilis

Mimosa hostilis, also known as Mimosa tenuiflora or Jurema preta, has a long history of use in traditional medicine and spiritual practices, particularly in South and Central America. When made into a tincture, it is used for a variety of purposes:

– Pain Relief: Mimosa offers relief from headaches, migraines and any pains or aches in the body.

– Wound Healing: Mimosa hostilis has been traditionally used for its skin-healing properties. The bark contains tannins and other compounds that promote tissue regeneration, and the tincture is sometimes applied to minor wounds, burns, or skin irritations.

– Anti-inflammatory: The tincture can be taken internally or used topically to help reduce inflammation in the body, which can be beneficial for conditions like arthritis, muscle pain, or skin inflammation.

– Antimicrobial: It has been found to have antimicrobial properties, making it useful for treating infections or preventing the growth of bacteria in wounds.

– Digestive Support: Some people use Mimosa hostilis tincture to support digestion and ease gastrointestinal discomfort, although this use is less common.

– Spiritual and Shamanic Uses: In spiritual practices, particularly in indigenous cultures, Mimosa hostilis has been used as an ingredient in ceremonial brews like ayahuasca. It is sometimes used in a tincture form for similar purposes in modern spiritual practices, aiming to enhance meditation or inner exploration.

– Skin Care: Its regenerative properties have led to its use in skincare tinctures or serums to treat scars, acne, and other skin conditions.

This tincture comes in liquid form. The dosage would depend on the intended use. To gain continued benefits from this medicine, we would suggest 5 drops in half a litre of water to sip throughout the day.
