Benefits of marco
Do you want to see some magic? Then try the leaves from the Marco bush. The shamans of South and Central America have worked wonders with them, and the intoxicating fumes of the Ambrosia peruviana potion have turned many a head.
Marco is found in the Caribbean and the peripheral parts of the Amazon rainforest, mainly in Peru. It is a not-very-tall shrub that loves wetter soil. When it becomes established in a different environment, it quickly becomes a noxious weed. However, in its native habitat, it can be tamed and we can get the best out of it.
It was first noticed from the outside world by the conquistadors, who subsequently described its benefits in the hands of tribal shamans. The local folk medicine of the inhabitants did not let it go, and people took it with them on their long journeys through the forest as a versatile medicine. To this day, Marco has a strong presence in the area and is still used in some ritual ceremonies.
In our country, you can find it in the form of dried leaves used to make a slightly bitter infusion that goes perfectly with honey, for instance. However, it should be avoided by pregnant and breastfeeding women and children under the age of three.
