Muira Puama Chips

Heartwell Farmacy’s Muira Puama Chips come from Ptychopetalum olacoides, a small Amazonian tree long valued in South American herbal traditions. Often called “potency wood,” muira puama has a strong reputation as a traditional tonic and is commonly prepared as tea, decoction, or tincture.

This fibrous bark and root material is best known for its traditional use in formulas centered on vitality, energy, and overall wellness. Herbalists have also associated muira puama with support for libido, cognitive function, and nervous system balance, though its strongest reputation comes from long-standing folk use rather than modern clinical claims.

Muira puama chips are typically simmered into a decoction or tinctured to help draw out the plant’s beneficial constituents. Their woody, earthy character makes them a classic choice for herbalists who appreciate traditional Amazonian botanicals.

Suggested Uses

• Simmer 1 to 2 tablespoons in 1 cup of water for 15 to 20 minutes for a decoction.
