Jatoba
(-Hymenaea courbaril-)

JATOBA TEA is a unique treasure of the Brazilian and Peruvian Rainforests.
JATOBA TEA is well known to the people of the Amazon and is truly one of the treasures of the rainforest. It has been used for hundreds of years by the lumberjacks in Brazil as an energizer to help them feel strong and vigorous. They can be seen day after day, heading off to work, carrying their "jug" of JATOBA TEA. They work hard and need lots of energy to keep going in the hot and humid climate of the rainforest.
In addition to the bark of the Jatoba tree being used for energy and stamina, it has been used for numerous other health benefits for centuries. Many secrets and untold treasures await discovery with the medicinal plants used by the indigenous people of the Amazon Rainforests. Medicine Garden Australia are committed to doing everything within their power to ensure the preservation of our life-giving rainforests.


Besides being used for weakness, energy and stamina, JATOBA TEA has been used as a tonic for the respiratory and urinary systems by the indigenous people of the Amazon Basin for centuries. Like Pau d' Arco, Jatoba is known for its ability to fight fungus and yeast-like candida albicans. Toenail fungus can be treated by soaking the toes in a strong brew. Just drink this great tasting tea hot or cold as you would any tea.
JATOBA TEA is a natural botanical product. It is made from the bark of the Jatoba tree known scientifically as Hymenaea courbaril.

Directions for use.

Steep 1 teaspoon of Jatoba powder in one full cup (8 oz) of boil water for at least five minutes. The longer it steeps, the more nutrients the tea will contain. Add some lemon juice to aid the bioavailability of important phytonutrients. Add honey to taste if desired. Drink as a delicious hot or iced beverage, two or more times per day or as desired for energy, to support the urinary or respiratory systems, or for its natural anti-fungal action. JATOBA TEA can be made up by the quart or half-gallon and stored in the refrigerator if desired. The inclusion of a small amount of lemon juice is best because the natural acidity in the lemon juice helps to free the active alkaloids in the tea from the tannins contained in it.
This causes the alkaloids to be more easily assimilated by the body and therefore more utilized as well.
Do not add more lemon juice than what is necessary as the taste can become too tart--a little is all you need.
