Hercampuri is a medicinal plant native to the Peruvian Andes. It has been used for centuries by indigenous cultures for its pronounced detoxifying and healing effects, especially for liver and metabolic support. This plant is one of the most important herbs in traditional Andean medicine.

It is a small plant with delicate leaves and tiny purple flowers. It grows at high altitudes (3,000-4,500 m) in the Peruvian Andes.

It contains gentiopicrin, which is an active substance with hepatoprotective and detoxifying properties. It is often used in cleansing treatments. Flavonoids, alkaloids, minerals and vitamins also contribute to its healing effects.

The taste of Hercampuri is very bitter, which may be unpleasant for some, but is part of its therapeutic effect.

Dosage: 1 - 2 tablespoons (about 5 grams) per 1 litre of water. Allow to infuse for 5 to 10 minutes and sip warm throughout the day.

Warning: Hercampuri is not recommended for pregnant and lactating women and people who have stomach ulcers, gallbladder inflammation, or obstructed bile ducts.

Long-term use: At high doses, it may cause gastric irritation or over-stimulation of the digestive tract. Long-term use should be consulted with a specialist.
