Mimosa hostilis has been used in traditional medicine recipes in the Americas since antiquity. Pre-Hispanic cultures, including the Maya and Nahua, have used it to heal damaged tissues, such as skin burns, and in cosmetic routines.

Mimosa hostilis is from southern Mexico’s tropical deciduous forests to northern Brazil’s tropical forests. It is a resilient and strong tree due to its ability to adapt to extreme conditions.

Mimosa tenuiflora (Willd) Poiret is the full scientific name of this tree, and Mimosa hostilis is a synonym. It is popularly as “jurema” in Brazil and “tepezcohuite” in Mexico.

Tepezcohuite has an ambiguous meaning. Nonetheless, historians have proposed two major theories:

• “Hillside Tree”
  From the sum of the words in Nahuatl, the Aztecs’ original language:
• Cuahuitl (hill) and Tepetl (hill) (tree).
  “Iron-hard tree”
  From the Nahuat, a Nahuatl dialect:
  kuouit (iron) and tepos (iron) (tree, wood or log).

Nowadays, Mexican herbalists refer to it as the “skin tree” because the majority of its applications are related to the treatment of skin ailments. Traditional doctors in various indigenous communities make infusions, balms, and soaps from ground Mimosa tenuiflora bark, which are specifically to regenerate the skin as well as treat stomach illnesses and fungal infections.

Tepezcohuite root bark powder is a great anti-aging and beauty ally for indigenous women and traditional herbalists. Tepezcohuite is a key ingredient in many cosmetic products to treat acne, wrinkles, spots, and stretch marks caused by pregnancy.

Mimosa hostilis is native to northern Brazil and has spread into Central America. It is a pioneer species, germinating quickly after fire and making the environment more hospitable to succeeding generations of other species due to its nitrogen-fixing ability, which allows it to quickly create organic material and humus for the soil. Mimosa tenuiflora is the new name for Mimosa tenuiflora.

In Mexico, it is known as tepezcohuite and is widely used as a wound healing agent.

Apart from being a source of hallucinogenic tryptamines, Mimosa hostilis has a variety of other applications. The bark is to treat wounds, as an analgesic, as fodder for livestock and bees, and as a tannin source.

The inner root bark of Mimosa hostilis comes from a tree known locally as Jurema, Jurema Preta, Black Jurema, or Vinho de Jurema, and is the most desirable portion of the plant known to local shamans for its entheogenic properties.

Mimosa is native to Brazil, where it has been used for centuries for a variety of medicinal purposes. The majority of the active alkaloids are found in the inner part of the root, which is also the part of the Mimosa plant that we sell here at Avalon Magic Plants. Mimosa is frequently used as a substitute for other DMT-containing plants in ayahuasca blends in the Western world, such as Psychotria Viridis or Chaliponga.
