Muira Puama, derived from the bark and roots of Ptychopetalum olacoides, is a traditional Amazonian botanical valued for its invigorating, earthy character. Often called “potency wood,” this hardwood shrub has a long history of use in rainforest regions and is appreciated today for its robust aroma and grounding presence in herbal preparations. Its naturally rich, woody profile makes it a distinctive addition to any Herbarium collection.
