IPORURU

The leaves of this shrubby Amazonian tree are regarded as a potent aphrodisiac, increasing female fertility (especially in cases where the male is relatively impotent) and remedying male impotency. It is also used as an effective geriatric tonic for males. Iporuru balances blood sugar levels in diabetics and it is gaining popularity among North American athletes and health practitioners since it provides nutritional support to muscle and joint structures, aiding flexibility of movement and range of motion.
Iporuru is also used in the treatment of colds, coughs, diarrhea and diabetes. Taken regularly, it produces an interesting state of heightened awareness. Scientific research has shown Iporuru to have antitumor, antifungal and antiviral actions.

One cup of dried leaves macerated in 2 cups of water for one day, and 2-3 does (of ½ cup) daily.
