Coca Tea’s Benefits on The Body

By 1 Comment

There are many coca tea’s benefits on the body, coca plant has been used by people in South America for over 7000 years. We will examine exactly what coca tea does to the human body.

Coca Tea Against Cancer and Tumors

Coca tea leaves contain a wide range of healing antioxidants. Coca leaves are rich in polyphenols, so much so that they contain more of them than carrots, cauliflower, broccoli, lettuce, onions and many other nutrient-dense vegetables. Coca has more beta carotene than carrots which is a vitamin A precursor. Numerous medical studies have shown that beta carotene protects against various types of cancer. Coca tea’s benefits go further because the leaf has been found to contain condensed tannins in large amounts. These tannins play a vital and a very interesting role because they protect proteins, fats and carbohydrates from oxidative stress and damage during the digestion phase in our body.

Coca Tea Against Stress

In laboratory tests when a patient was given an extract of coca tea, immediate stress relief was followed. Coca leaves provide the user with energy, the feelings of well-being and a sense of calmness. Individuals who suffer from stress and anxiety will greatly benefit from chewing coca tea leaves. Coca tea’s benefits come in the form of increased confidence, alertness and focus.

 

Coca Tea Protects The Liver

There is clear evidence that coca leaves are highly protective and beneficial for the liver. Fatty liver disease is a condition that is greatly improved and can be reversed with regular consumption of coca tea leaves. People that consume alcohol in large amounts on a regular basis seem to not suffer from a fatty liver disease or liver cirrhosis. These findings made Dr. Roger Ramos Aliaga to research coca’s effects on the liver and he discovered that coca leaves do protect the liver cells. The results were published in the 2006 study: Antioxidant effects and an alkaline extract of Coca leaves hepatoprotector; (which was based on his research “Metabolism of ethanol and conditions of the liver in rats” UNMSM, 2004). Coca tea’s benefits on the liver are truly remarkable.

It must be stated that abusing alcohol and the pure cocaine drug together, severely damages the liver due to formation of a new liver-toxic chemical called cocaethylene. When alcohol is consumed with the whole coca leaf, something entirely different happens. Dr. Ramos Aliaga has stated: Coca leaves provide a powerful antioxidant effect on the body, as opposed to heart-toxic and liver-toxic purified drug cocaine. Coca’s antioxidants in combination with vitamins A, B, C, E, tannins, polyphenols and flavonoids, have antioxidant properties that instead of damaging the body’s organs, heal and protect

Coca Tea Promotes Healthy Digestive System

The coca plant has a naturally occurring cellulose fiber. It’s sheer volume is significantly higher than found in oat and wheat bran. Coca’s cellulose fiber, speeds up the bowel movement and evacuation of feces. The fiber also strengthens the intestinal flora by producing more beneficial fatty acids. The amount present is higher than found in oat and wheat bran and drastically higher than in most vegetables such as spinach, broccoli, and cabbage. Coca leaves contain lignin, this is an antioxidant that prevents the release of harmful free radicals and absorbs fat. Lignin is responsible for binding of iron with zinc. Its volume is greater than found in oat and wheat bran, spinach, cabbage and lettuce.

Fiber consumption raises the good cholesterol in the body.

Coca Leaf Powder & Uses

Coca Leaf Powder

Coca leaf powder and uses of it are legendary. Coca plant grows naturally in South America (Peru and Bolivia) and has for thousands of years was an important medicinal plant in the Andes and it’s people. Within coca leaf plant, there are two main strains, and they are: Erythroxylum coca var. Coca, and Erythroxylum coca var. Novogranatense.

Coca leaf is established as a main source of cocaine drug, and the plant grows up to three meters in height. Traditional coca plants are cultivated and harvested mostly in the lower regions of the Andes, however Erythroxylum coca var. Novogranatense can also be grown in neighbouring countries such as Colombia and Ecuador.

The people of Peru and Bolivia have used the coca leaf powder for thousands of years as medicine and as an energy boosting stimulant. Peruvian Indians used the coca powder to cure the effects of altitude sickness, to stop hunger, lethargy, headaches and nausea. Coca leaf powder and whole leaves were so important that they were used as a trade commodity between the people living in the lower regions and higher altitudes, where coca leaf is consumed to fight the altitude sickness.

What’s interesting to note is that fragments of coca leaf powder were discovered dating all the way back at least 6,000 years, and even ancient mummies discovered in tombs, buried with small bags of whole coca leaves. There were also pottery decorated with figurines showing the typical look of a cheek bulge chewing coca leaves.

Unfortunately, in the year of 1961, the United Nations Convention on Narcotic Drugs made coca illegal outside of South America. The only two countries where coca plant grows naturally, Peru and Bolivia, demanded that coca leaf remain legal because it has been used for thousands of years as medicine. This is where the majority of exported coca powder is now sourced across the world.

What complicates the entire coca leaf is that the leaves hold alkaloids that can be used to produce the drug cocaine. Cocaine is a powerful psychoactive drug that was discovered and purified by a German chemist, Albert Friedrich Emil Niemann in 1859. Normally, coca leaves are chewed or brewed into coca tea, which is also called, “Mate de Coca”. The people of Peru, including the Incas, prefer the chewing method which is called “acullico”. To chew coca leaves or coca tea powder, the user must combine the leaves with an alkaline substance such as llipta or sodium bicarbonate. Bi carb soda or llipta helps to extract coca leaf alkaloids from the plant fiber. Chewing coca leaf powder is much more effective as the absorption of the alkaloids when drinking coca tea is much slower and much of it is wasted or discarded with the spent leaves.

When you chew coca leaf powder in its whole, natural way, coca does not become addictive, physically or mentally, the coca tea drinker or coca chewer does not become dependent. If the person decides to stop consuming the leaves for a lengthy period of time, there is no withdrawal or cravings for coca. It’s good to know that coca leaf itself is used to get people off cocaine and crack. Therefore, coca tea is useful for treatment of recovering drugs addicts.

There were medical studies conducted in Bolivia to understand better how the coca leaf affects physical performance when the user is chewing coca leaves. The research showed that coca leaves block the pathway of glucose oxidation at the pyruvate dehydrogenase level. This results in the body making a switch to get it’s core energy production from fatty acids. This is a far more efficient source of natural energy especially during longer periods of low-level intensity, allowing coca users the energy to perform at a sustained level over lengthy periods of time. What is also interesting to note is that cocaine itself might have little to do with the energy derived from whole coca leaf powder. The sheer amount of pure cocaine absorbed while chewing is very little, this may confirm that it’s not the cocaine which provides the energy with coca leaves. Research points the finger at coca’s flavonoids which are found within the leaves as the driving force in energy boosting.

This is great news for the coca tea chewers and drinkers around the world who were concerned about the potential negative effects of cocaine while chewing coca leaf powder.
