GUARANA

Panela Supana

Other Names: Panela Supana, uabano.

Habitat: South America, Brazil & Venezuela

Properties:  Primarily this herb is a stimulant. It quickens your perceptions and wakefulness, slows the pulse, impairs the appetite, and can be used to allow for long drives, extended work hours, endurance based athletics,and delaying sleep.

CAUTION: Long term use of Guarana alters the blood sugar, which can cause nervousness, insomnia and possible psychic habituation. Use vitamin B supplements to counteract this possibility.

To prepare, powder guarana seed with a mortar and pestle or coffee grinder. Prepared like coffee the grounds can be used several times. Two nuts are recommended per cup. The powder can also be placed inside of medical capsules, useful if you don't like the taste.

This online herbal is intended as an introduction to how medicinal herb plants are used as herbal remedies. It is intended for educational purposes only. I am not a medical professional and I cannot prescribe what herbs are right for you. I cannot answer medical questions, so please do not ask me (or any other complete stranger for that matter) to prescribe herbal remedies, cures, treatments or to guess what is wrong with you.

If you use herbs, do so responsibly. Consult your doctor about your health conditions and use of herbal remedies. Herbs may be harmful if taken for the wrong conditions, used in excessive amounts, combined with prescription drugs or alcohol, or used by persons who don't know what they are doing. Just because an herbal remedy is natural, does not mean it is safe! There are herbs that are poisonous such as Poison Hemlock, Jimson weed, and many more.

I will be happy to help you ID wild plants that you find, or help you locate herbs, plants or herb seeds and especially herb pictures.
