FAMILY
: Leguminosae (or Mimosaceae, or Fabaceae)
GENUS :
Mimosa
SPECIES : hostilis
COMMON
NAMES : Mimosa hostilis rootbark, Ayahuasca,
jurema, jurema preta, Mimosa, MH, Mimosa rootbark, mimosa
bark, Jurema Black
IDENTIFICATION : Usually noted is a beautiful
pink / purple color to the flesh. Fiberous and eash to
break. The outer shell is for the most part is smooth
in texture. Some of the roots grow above ground. The inner
part of the root bark contains a very fibery appearance.
This is mainly caused because the skin of the root is
ripped or torn / peeled from the roots.
Proper cultivation is achieved by pulling rootbark
from a portion of the roots from a group of mimosa trees
once a year. Making a cycle every 2 to 4 years. Basically
the tree gets the roots pruned which produces a vigorous
growth for the following years.
Mimosa
hostilis is common flowering leguminous tree mainly located
In
northeastern Brazil. "In the eighteenth and nineteenth
centuries, there were a number of reports from northeastern
Brasil of the use of an inebriating beverage called Vinho
da Jurema (Goncalves de Lima 1946), a use said to be extinct
today (Schultes and Hofmann 1980) but evidently continuing
underground (Da Mota 1987). In 1964, the botanical source
of Vinho da Jurema was identified as the bark and the
bark from the roots of Mimosa Hostilis. Mimosa belongs
to the Leguminosae family as does Anadenanthera Peregrina.
Another
far more important use for this plant is the bark of the
tree when used under the name tepezcohuite as a remedy
for skin problems and injuries such as burns. It is now
used in commercial skin and hair products which are promoted
as being able to rejuvenite skin. Research has shown that
it has some useful activities which support the traditional
uses. The bark is rich in tannins, saponins, alkaloids,
lipids, phytosterols, glucosides, xylose, rhamnose, arabinose,
lupeol, methoxychalcones, and kukulkanins. In vitro studies
on bacterial cultures have shown it is three times more
effective as a bacteriocide than streptomycin, although
in vivo studies have not been as positive. The treatment
for burn victims is of great interest to any serious burn
hospital or private lab.
