Manayupa is a traditional medicinal herb native to the Peruvian Andes, where it has been used in folk medicine for centuries. It is known for its cleansing, detoxifying and regenerating effects on the body.

The word 'Manayupa' in the Quechua language means 'its uses are endless', indicating its wide range of healing properties.

Manayupa is also often referred to as "Hierba de la mujer" (herb for women), "Pucamama" (Mother Earth). It grows in the high altitudes of the Peruvian Andes, in clean and non-industrialized places. It is a low, branching plant with delicate leaves and tiny purple or pinkish flowers.
