Chuchuhuasi Bark 

Chuchuhuasi bark (Maytenus krukovii), native to the Amazon rainforest, is a revered botanical in South American herbal traditions. Known for its warming and fortifying properties, chuchuhuasi has been traditionally used to support joint and muscle comfort, energy, and resilience—especially during physical exertion or recovery. The bark is most commonly prepared as a decoction or tincture, often blended with other rainforest herbs for enhanced effect.
