Canchalagua | Blood Cleanser & Skin Health

The Remedy:

Canchalagua (Schkuhria pinnata)—also known as Chanca Amargo, Peppermint Weed, and in Spanish Canchalagua Andina—is a traditional South American bitter herb widely used to support blood purification, skin health, liver function, and digestive balance. Rich in bitters, antioxidants, and cleansing compounds, canchalagua helps clear internal heat and promote healthy detox pathways.

Commonly used to support acne, eczema, skin eruptions, inflammation, sluggish digestion, poor appetite, and overall blood cleansing, canchalagua is valued for its ability to purify the system and promote clear, vibrant skin from within.

Enjoyed as a tea, tincture, or cleansing blend, canchalagua offers gentle detoxification and traditional skin-balancing support.
