Purchase a one pound package of Raintree's sustainably harvested pure clavillia whole herb powder (Mirabilis jalapa) - rich in active and beneficial phytochemicals that occur naturally in this plant. This plant has been milled into a fine powder which is suitable to stuff into capsules or to prepare your own teas, tinctures or extracts. Raintree's clavillia has been sustainably wild-harvested in the Brazilian Amazon (without any pesticides or fertilizers). Chemical analysis of clavillia shows that it is rich in many active compounds including triterpenes, proteins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and steroids. Of particular interest to researchers is a group of amino acid-based proteins, called mirabilis antiviral proteins (MAPs). These chemicals have shown specific antiviral and antifungal actions in laboratory research.*
Traditional Uses:* as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial for bacterial, fungal, and viral infections; for Candida and yeast infections; as a bowel cleanser and laxative; for skin problems (eczema, dermatitis, acne, rashes, liver spots, skin fungi, ringworm); for vaginal discharge, infections, and sexually transmitted diseases
