Powerful Anamu Immune System Support. Anamu (Petiveria alliacea) grows primarily in Peru- Cuba- South America- Caribbean- Sri Lanka and the southeastern United States (Florida & Texas).

Whenever we adopt a native remedy- it is important to get the correct species- plant part and harvesting procedures used in the native tradition. Gathering the wrong material will result in a product which may not work like the tradition says. In Peru- the locals use a particular form of the plant known as mucura hembra or Female anamu. Be certain to get anamu from a company which uses this form. The folklore uses for this plant are as follows. It has been used as a remedy to expel or destroy parasites. It has also been used as an analgesic (pain relieving herb) and anti-inflammatory (particularly for arthritis and gastritis).Native people's have also used the herb to treat blood and vascular diseases. It is one of seven plants used by Amazonian cabloco communities for the relief of pain. There has not been a great deal of scientific research on anamu- but anamu has several known active constituents- including tannins- polyphenols- senfols and benzyl-2-hdroxyethyl-trisulfide. These constituents appear to provide protection to cells- reduce inflammation and support the immune response. Due to its stimulant effect on the uterus anamu should NOT be used during pregnancy.
