A rustic and thorny plant from the Brazilian sertão and cerrado, jurubeba was quickly welcomed by Bantu and Nagô priests for its combative energy and ability to purge spiritual toxins.
In the traditional garrafadas of Central Brazil, the raizeiro masters recognized in the knotted shape of the root the living metaphor of firmeza: the capacity to tie knots in adversity and remain standing even in arid lands.
Its roots and bitter leaves are also part of traditional folk medicine in the form of consecrated garrafadas for the stomach and liver.
