Palo Guaco | Respiratory Relief & Anti-Inflammatory Support

The Remedy:

Palo Guaco (Mikania glomerata / Mikania guaco)—also known as Guaco Vine, Bejuco de Guaco, Yerba de Culebra, and Guaco Leaf—is a traditional South and Central American herb valued for its strong respiratory, anti-inflammatory, and detoxifying properties. Rich in coumarins, tannins, essential oils, and antioxidant compounds, Palo Guaco helps open the lungs, soothe irritation, and support healthy breathing.

Commonly used to ease cough, bronchitis, mucus buildup, asthma symptoms, chest congestion, inflammation, and mild infections, Palo Guaco also supports circulation and is traditionally applied to the skin for bites, stings, and snake-related irritations—reflecting its long-standing “snake herb” reputation.

Enjoyed as a tea, tincture, syrup, or inhalation, Palo Guaco delivers powerful lung support and internal cleansing.
