Palo Pereira | Traditional Bitterwood Tonic
The Remedy:
Palo Pereira (Geissospermum vellosii / Geissospermum sericeum)—also known as Bitterwood, Pereiro, Pau-Pereira, and in Spanish Palo Amargo—is a powerful Amazonian and South American bitter tonic traditionally used to strengthen digestion, cleanse the system, and support overall vitality. Rich in alkaloids, bitter compounds, and antioxidant constituents, palo pereira helps stimulate digestive fire, improve nutrient absorption, and support liver and gallbladder function.
Commonly used to ease bloating, sluggish digestion, gas, parasites, constipation, and general digestive weakness, it also helps purify the blood, support immune defenses, and maintain balanced inflammation. Its strong bitter profile makes it an excellent herb for deep cleansing and metabolic reset.
Enjoyed as a tea, tincture, capsule, or decoction, palo pereira brings grounding clarity and traditional digestive strength to daily wellness.
