CHUCHUHUASI (pronounced Chew chew hoo aw see) whole plant extract is a large Amazonian canopy tree found in the Peruvian high and low selva (jungle) and rain forests that can reach up to 100 feet in height. It is characterized by its dense red and brown bark. Peruvian indigenous people translate CHUCHUHUASI as trembling back and/or shaking back, indicating its traditional use for back pain, arthritis, muscle aches and rheumatism.
In Peruvian herbal medicine, CHUCHUHUASIis used as a general maintenance aid to help address a variety of aches and pains (back, joints, muscles, stomach, arthritis, rheumatism) as well as for conditional needs related to osteoarthritis and rheumatoid arthritis, to help boost immunity, to help support adrenal health, for bronchitis and diarrhea and as a whole body tonic (strengthen and tone body systems) .
Primary natural plant chemicals of CHUCHUHUASI include use as a muscle relaxant, anti-inflammatory, anti-rheumatic, anti-arthritic, broad based analgesic (back, muscles, stomach, arthritis, rheumatism), endocrine regulator, immune stimulant, and tonic (tones, balances, strengthens overall body functions)
CHUCHUHUASI is strongly antioxidant and adaptogenic, and contains healthy natural plant chemicals including novel alkaloids, triterpenes, flavonols, proanthocyanidins, proanthycyanins, tannins and sesquiterpenes.
It is most noted for its novel alkaloid content which may help inhibit enzyme production of protein kinase C, also called PKC. PKC has been identified as a catalyst for wide spread inflammation in the body and excess PKC is linked to many diseases, including arthritis, cardiovascular disease, cancer, tumors and asthma.
