FAMILY : Leguminosae (or Mimosaceae, or Fabaceae)
GENUS : Mimosa
SPECIES : hostilis
COMMON NAMES : Mimosa hostilis rootbark, jurema, jurema preta, Mimosa, MH, Mimosa rootbark, mimosa bark, Jurema Black
IDENTIFICATION : Usually noted is a beautiful pink / purple color to the flesh. Fiberous and eash to break. The outer shell is for the most part is smooth in texture. Some of the roots grow above ground. The inner part of the root bark contains a very fibery appearance. This is mainly caused because the skin of the root is ripped or torn / peeled from the roots.
Proper cultivation is achieved by pulling rootbark from a portion of the roots from a group of mimosa trees once a year. Making a cycle every 2 to 4 years. Basically the tree gets the roots pruned which produces a vigorous growth for the following years.
Mimosa hostilis is common flowering leguminous tree mainly located In northeastern Brazil. "In the eighteenth and nineteenth centuries, there were a number of reports from northeastern Brasil of the use of an inebriating beverage called Vinho da Jurema (Goncalves de Lima 1946), a use said to be extinct today (Schultes and Hofmann 1980) but evidently continuing underground (Da Mota 1987). In 1964, the botanical source of Vinho da Jurema was identified as the bark and the bark from the roots of Mimosa Hostilis. Mimosa belongs to the Leguminosae family.

The most mportant use for this plant is the bark of the tree when used under the name tepezcohuite as a remedy for skin problems and injuries such as burns.It is now used in commercial skin and hair products which are promoted as being able to rejuvenite skin. Research has shown that it has some useful activities which support the traditional uses. The bark is rich in tannins, saponins, alkaloids, lipids, phytosterols, glucosides, xylose, rhamnose, arabinose, lupeol, methoxychalcones, and kukulkanins. In vitro studies on bacterial cultures have shown it is three times more effective as a bacteriocide than streptomycin, although in vivo studies have not been as positive. The treatment for burn victims is of great interest to any serious burn hospital or private lab.
