The name of this magical herb?
Well the
Brazilian call it Cha de Bugre.
Cha de Bugre is an unasuming
small tree which grows 26-40 feet in height with a trunk diameter
of 12-16 inches. Indigenous to Brazil, it is found mostly in
the states of Goias, Acre, Minas Gerais, and Bahia, and is commonly
called cafe do mato (coffee of the woods) because
it produces a red fruit similar to a coffee bean which can be
roasted and made in to a coffee substitute.
Dr. C.L. Cruz in his book, Dictionary
of the Plants Used in Brazil, recommends chá de
bugre as an excellent diuretic and weight
loss aid as well as a good general heart tonic which
can help stimulate circulation. It is also used in Brazil and
Haiti as a tea to help relieve coughs, regulate renal function,
reduce uric acid and externally to heal wounds.
