RainTree Nutrition Tayuya Bulk Powder - 1 lb

Purchase a one pound package of Raintree's sustainably harvested pure tayuya root powder (Cayaponia tayuya)—rich in active and beneficial phytochemicals that occur naturally in this plant. Tayuya is phytochemically rich in flavones, glucosides, and cucurbitacin triterpenes. Almost every species in the huge Cucurbitaceae family is documented to contain cucurbitacin compounds—many of which evidence biological activity (and, oftentimes, the plant's medicinal activity is ascribed to these chemicals).* Novel cucurbitacins have been discovered in tayuya and named cayaponosides (24 distinct cayaponosides have been discovered thus far). 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 tayuya has been sustainably wild-harvested in the Amazon rainforest (without any pesticides or fertilizers).

Traditional Uses:* for pain of all types (arthritis, migraines and headaches, stomach aches, menstrual pain, etc.); for central nervous system disorders (sciatica, neuralgia, multiple sclerosis, epilepsy, nerve injuries, etc.); as a general detoxification aid and blood cleanser; for acne, eczema, dermatitis and other skin problems; for emotional fatigue and depression
