Mansoa Alliacea Leaves and Vines: The Amazonian Plant with Magical and Medicinal Properties

Mansoa Alliacea, also known as Ajo Sacha, is a respected plant teacher in the Amazonian shamanic tradition. Indigenous Indian tribes use every part of the plant for magical or spiritual purposes, believing that it chases away evil spirits while bringing good luck. Tea made from the bark of the herb is fed to dogs among the Shipibo-Conibo Indians to improve their hunting abilities, while the bark poultice is used to treat inflammatory skin conditions. Leaf tea is used to treat colds and aid fertility among different tribes in the Amazon.

Herbal Medicine

Ajo Sacha has been used for centuries in Peru and Brazil towns as a remedy for arthritis, rheumatism, body aches and pain, and muscle aches and pain. It is considered to have analgesic, antirheumatic, and anti-inflammatory properties, making it a popular natural remedy for pain relief.

Habitat

Mansoa Alliacea is a tropical shrubby tree native to the Amazon rainforest, with numerous woody vines that grow up to two to three meters tall. Its leaves, which can grow up to 15 cm long, emit a strong garlic smell when crushed, hence its Spanish name “ajos sacha,” meaning false garlic. Ajo Sacha’s breathtaking physical features, including beautiful lavender flowers with a white throat, have also earned it a place as an ornamental plant in homes and gardens in the tropics. Despite being native to the Amazon, Ajo Sacha is also grown in gardens in the United States, where its hardy vine can survive freezing frost.

Names

Ajo Sacha is also known by several other names, including aboeja-mibia, ah-kah-pota, ajo macho, ajos del monte, Amazonian garlic bush, false garlic, garlic rope, and garlic vine.

Scientific Information

Mansoa Alliacea contains a number of bioactive compounds, including alliin, alliinase, and allicin. These compounds are responsible for the plant’s garlic-like smell and taste, as well as its medicinal properties. Research has shown that allicin has antibacterial, antifungal, and antiviral effects, making it a potential natural remedy for various infections. Alliin and alliinase have been found to have antitumor and antioxidant properties, which may have implications for cancer prevention and treatment.
