The native tribes of the Amazon rainforest have been using the bark of Chu Chu Huasi therapeutically for many centuries. Its Peruvian name, Chu Chu Huasi, means “trembling back,” which refers to its long-standing use to assist with back pain. One of the top amazon traditional botanicals, it is particularly famous throughout the western Amazon Basin where it is semi cultivated near villages, or wildcrafted.

In Columbia, the Siona Indians boil Chuchuhuasi bark in water until the decoction reduces to half. This extraction is regarded as a stimulant as well as an aid for relieving aches. In the lowland rain forest of eastern Ecuador, the Quijos Quichua Indians use a decoction of Chu Chu Huasi for general aching. Local healers and Chu-Chu-huasi-fresh-red--barkcuranderos in the Amazon use Chu Chu Huasi as a general tonic, to assist with healing and, when combined with other beneficial plants, as a synergist for many types of ailments. In Peru, it is prepared by macerating root bark and letting it steep for eight days in aguardiente (sugar cane liquor). The resulting infusion is alleged to be an aphrodisiac.

He was the first to cultivate and distribute live maca root plants in the USA and began germplasm collections and cultivar selection of maca in the Peruvian Altiplano in 1994. In addition to his studies of maca in the Peruvian highlands, Jerome is a published ethnobotanist with a myriad of expertise and an extensive history of working within a variety of botanical experiences. He has explored remote rivers, lakes, and forests in dozens of exotic countries, his travels having taken him to the depths of steamy jungles and the tops of 20 thousand foot mountains... He is the award winner of the Natural Foods Institute "Best New Plants" Award and the subject of numerous articles about plant exploration. He regularly lectures and teaches others about new and rare food-crop development. Jerry currently resides with his family in the lovely rural area of Murphy, Oregon, surrounded by acres of land containing thousands of varieties of rare plants from around the world. Over the course of nearly 20 years, HERBS AMERICA'S founders have used USDA agriculture and agroforestry permits to develop more than 400 rare fruits and new superfoods for introduction into the farming sector and natural foods market.
