The climbing leaves of Mikania species, known locally as 'guaco,' wind through Central American herbalism as a plant of profound respiratory tradition.
The climbing leaves of Mikania species, known locally as 'guaco,' wind through Central American herbalism as a plant of profound respiratory tradition. Wild-harvested from Honduras' humid forests and field margins, these leaves carry generations of indigenous wisdom about breath, clarity, and traditional lung support.
Revered for their distinctive aroma and time-honored applications in seasonal wellness, they are shade-dried to maintain their coumarin-rich essential nature. Offered whole or chopped, free from synthetic expectorants or pharmaceutical modification.
How to Use
Herbal Infusion (Tea)
Place 3-5g of dried Guaco leaves (or 5-8g fresh leaves) in a teapot or cup. Pour 150-200ml (approximately 1 cup) of boiling water over the leaves. Cover and steep for 10 minutes. Strain and drink up to 3 times daily.
For Respiratory Health & Cough
Drink 1 cup of Guaco tea 2-3 times daily to traditionally support bronchial health, ease cough, and help clear respiratory passages. The natural bronchodilatory properties provide traditional relief.
For Asthma & Bronchitis Support
Consume Guaco tea consistently, 3 times daily during respiratory challenges. Traditional use suggests ongoing support for chronic respiratory conditions.
Guaco Syrup (Traditional Preparation)
Prepare a strong Guaco tea using double the amount of leaves. Strain and simmer the liquid with an equal amount of honey until slightly thickened. Take 1-2 teaspoons 3 times daily for cough and respiratory support.
Traditional Note
Guaco has been used for generations throughout South America as a powerful respiratory tonic and snake bite remedy.
