The Plant
The Endopleura uchi belongs to the Humiriaceae family and is commonly known as uxi or yellow uxi, axuá, pururu, uxi, smooth uxi, or uxi-pucu. This plant is actually a tree that can reach up to 30 meters in height and has thin, straight trunks and strong branches. The bark, which is the part used for natural medicine, is grayish in color. The leaves are serrated and oval, and its fruits are oily and look a lot like mangoes, but taste like nuts or chestnuts. It can easily be found in regions such as the northeast, but has recently been cultivated for therapeutic consumption.
Uxi is actually considered a dietary supplement that helps boost health as it strengthens the body against various diseases and also assists in combating them. Ready for consumption, it can be easily found in natural product stores, street markets, and online shops. Ensuring the origin of the product you purchase is important to guarantee the effectiveness of the treatment.
How to Prepare the Tea
It is recommended to use two level tablespoons for each liter of filtered, boiling water. If using the tea in bark form, a little more will be needed, about 3 tablespoons. Add the uxi to the boiling water and cover it for about five minutes. After boiling, turn off the heat and let it rest for ten minutes.
Once the tea has rested, it is ready to be consumed. It is recommended to sweeten it with brown sugar or sweetener. You can also add honey to the tea. A special touch is boiling it with half a cinnamon stick. The spice will give it a stronger flavor and will appeal to those who enjoy it. Yellow uxi tea can also be made with sliced apples; in this case, it is recommended to strain before drinking.
