Prescriptions from the forest deep<\/h2>\n

The vastness of biodiversity in the Yasun\u00ed is mind blowing. And plants are not the exception. According to the latest studies, Yasun\u00ed National Park boasts 4,000 plant species per 10,000km2: \u201c\u2026over 2,200 tree species, 450 species of lianas (woody vines), over 300 species of epiphytes, 800 species of fern, and the list goes on\u2026<\/em><\/p>\n

Amongst this incredible diversity of plant species, many believe, exist cures for all of man\u2019s ills, a true nature\u2019s pharmacy. In fact, many of the pharmaceutical drugs we use today have been derived from plants found in the Amazon. Countless plants that thrive in the Amazon Basin have been proven to be active against cancer cells (the American Cancer Institute indicates around 2,000 species). Quinine, used in the treatment of malaria, taken from the bark of the cinchona tree was one of the first large scale cures derived from an Amazonian plant. In the Ecuadorian Amazon Basin, alone, there are over 500 different species of medicinal species from Cat\u2019s claw to Dragon\u2019s blood, from anti-inflammatories to natural contraceptives.<\/p>\n

En la Amazon\u00eda de Ecuador, existen m\u00e1s de 500 especies de plantas medicinales, entre ellas, las cura-todo como la u\u00f1a de gato y la sangre del drag\u00f3, numerosos antinflamatorios e incluso anticonceptivos naturales.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Many of the natural plant sources already used in medicine were found simply by trial and error and the ancient tribal culture of passing Mother Nature\u2019s secrets down through the generations. Ancient Amazonian cultures discovered and found plants that could cure all their ills. They started to use specific plants for different ailments and created recipes for how to prepare and use each potion.<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/p>\n

The peoples of the Amazon have found many practical uses for the huge variety of plants and trees found in their back garden. The walking palm, known as shikita <\/em>in kichwa has many different uses: the spikes on the trunk are used to grate yucca or plantain, once the tree has matured the first four metres of trunk are used as posts for the traditional stilt houses, and the venomous \u2018palmito\u2019 in the upper part of the tree is used as a natural pesticide against cockroaches.<\/p>\n

The roots of many plants have medicinal properties, such as the Yawati kaspi <\/em>tree\u2019s roots, used to treat diarrhea. First, dug up and cut into pieces, the roots are then cooked with water until reduced to a syrupy consistency which is then taken orally, 1 glass before eating, by the patient.<\/p>\n

Some plants have a more ritual use and are even believed to invoke beings from the spirit world. The supay chakra <\/em>(devil\u2019s orchard) tree is used in a rite of passage for young men yearning to be stronger and braver. They are sent into the jungle, alone, for five to seven days in search of this tree, and at sundown must scrape the bark from the part of the tree that is exposed to the sun between sunrise and sunset. The bark they collect in a pambiro <\/em>leaf, must be mixed with water and left overnight to ferment. After spending the night in the middle of the jungle, the young man drinks the mixture, which gives him strength, courage and energy to confront his enemies and fight his battles.<\/p>\n

\n

Ayahuasca trippin’<\/strong><\/p>\n

Ayahuasca-drinking Amazonians meander through the forest understory in a daze\u2026 some describe it as nothing less than an interplanetary voyage to the spiritual creation of life, where they\u2019ll travel through dimensions, in and out of the underworld and \u2018overworld\u2019 to come face to face with the fangs of the twoheaded serpent, wrapping themselves in the coils of the universe. Ritual ayahuasca drinkers can spend weeks in the jungle. It is hard to understand how they make it back to their communities, to impart their knowledge and\u00bf offer a cure to those who seek it. Ayahuasca, a natural hallucinogenic found in the depths of the rain forest, allegedly offers these healers essential information about the composition of the world\u2019s natural spectre, and after several week-long deliriums inside the forest, the drug cracks their mind open to flow throughout the vegetation, allowing them to communicate with every living plants, which in turn will offer an answer, a cure, a revelation.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\" Ayahuasca.<\/p>\n

The crot\u00f3n lechleri <\/em>tree, literally bleeds when its trunk is cut into, even the smallest of marks causes red blood to slowly seep from the bark, giving it, its local name of Dragon\u2019s Blood (Sangre de Drago)<\/em>. This red viscous sap can be applied topically to cuts, mild skin infections, minor burns, bites and acne; it heals and helps the skin to naturally regenerate. It can also be taken orally in water to treat gastritis and alleviate the symptoms of ulcers.<\/p>\n

Such diversity is also a case against the destruction of the Amazonian tropical forests, especially when taking into account the fact that plants come in such varieties that any parcel of the forest that is cut down, for whatever reason, could mean the disappearance of a myriad of medicinal properties beneficial to our wellbeing. Instead of hurting or helping to eliminate any part of this wonder trove, we should employ our efforts to studying it intensely.<\/p>\n

Land of cinnamon<\/strong><\/p>\n

When the Spaniards made the decision to send over 3000 men to the Amazon rainforest, they planned and realized the expedition solely because of their obsession with cinnamon, blindly following tales of natives who claimed the existence of a land where this species filled the air with its sweet scent. One of the great mirages of Conquistador history, the legendary reputation of the Land of Cinnamon fell to the ground upon finding species such as the endemic ishpingo, whose scent did not measure up to the real thing.<\/p>\n<\/div>\n
