Purchase a one pound package of Raintree's sustainably harvested pure clavillia whole herb powder (Mirabilis jalapa) - rich in active and beneficial phytochemicals that occur naturally in this plant. This plant has been milled into a fine powder which is suitable to stuff into capsules or to prepare your own teas, tinctures or extracts. Raintree's clavillia has been sustainably wild-harvested in the Brazilian Amazon (without any pesticides or fertilizers). See pictures of clavillia here. Chemical analysis of clavillia shows that it is rich in many active compounds including triterpenes, proteins, flavonoids, alkaloids, and steroids. Of particular interest to researchers is a group of amino acid-based proteins, called mirabilis antiviral proteins (MAPs). These chemicals have shown specific antiviral and antifungal actions in laboratory research.*
Traditional Uses:* as a broad-spectrum antimicrobial for bacterial, fungal, and viral infections; for Candida and yeast infections; as a bowel cleanser and laxative; for skin problems (eczema, dermatitis, acne, rashes, liver spots, skin fungi, ringworm); for vaginal discharge, infections, and sexually transmitted diseases

Ingredients: 100% pure clavillia (Mirabilis jalapa) whole herb (root, stem, leaves). No binders, fillers or additives are used. This plant is non-irradiated and non-fumigated, and has grown naturally in the Amazon without pesticides or fertilizers.
Suggested Use:This plant is best prepared as an infusion (tea): Use one teaspoon of powder for each cup of water. Pour boiling water over herb in cup and allow to steep 10 minutes. Strain tea (or allow settled powder to remain in the bottom of cup) and drink warm. It is traditionally taken in 1/2 cup dosages, twice daily. For more complete instructions on preparing herbal infusions see the Methods for Preparing Herbal Remedies Page.
Contraindications:
- The seeds of the plant contain neurotoxic chemicals and should not be ingested.
- Chemicals found in clavillia have been documented to have abortive actions. Clavillia itself has been documented with a mild uterine stimulant effect, therefore; its use during pregnancy is contraindicated.
Drug Interactions: None reported.
