Clavo Huasca: the clove vine from the Amazon
Clavo Huasca is a liana that grows in the rainforests of Peru and belongs to the same botanical family as ayahuasca. The name literally means 'clove vine' and refers to the characteristic scent of the trunk and leaves that resembles cloves. Tynnanthus panurensis has been known for generations in traditional Peruvian cultures, where the plant is part of the ethnobotanical heritage. For natural adventurers interested in Amazon plants, this is a special specimen.
Traditional background and botanical characteristics
In Peru, Clavo Huasca has a long history within indigenous communities. The Shipibo-Conibo, Kayapó and Assurini peoples in the Amazon region know the plant well and use it in various traditional applications. The plant was also traditionally used as an adjunctive ingredient in ayahuasca recipes to settle the stomach after taking these brews. The liana grows in the dense rainforests and develops a characteristic woody structure with a distinctive scent.
- Clove aroma: The plant owes its name to the rich, clove-like scent of its trunk and leaves.
- Botanical family: Belongs to the Bignoniaceae family, the same plant group as the well-known ayahuasca vine.

Use and preparation in traditional context
Traditionally, Clavo Huasca was prepared in different ways. A commonly used method was making a tincture in a 4:1 ratio, with 3-4 ml taken twice daily. An infusion was also made from the wood or leaf powder. The plant was not only used on its own, but often combined with other Amazon herbs. Ethnobotanical sources mention that the plant was especially popular in the pre-menopausal period, although this product is strictly intended as a botanical specimen and not for consumption.
