Bandaged wood Muira Puama from Amazonia

Muira Puama bandaged wood in sticks.

Bandaged wood is a natural product that has been used for many years in Latin America.

It contains in particular muirapuamine which has the virtues of improving erectile capacity.

It is generally consumed as an infusion in boiled water, but also in maceration with alcohol and more particularly rum where it enters into the composition of arranged rums and other love filters.

It is not recommended for people with heart problems and should be consumed in moderation (generally no more than 1 to 2 teaspoons per infusion).

To have an optimal effect, it should be used in very fine pieces.

The wood bandé goes very well with other ingredients such as vanilla, banana, ginger, chili or cocoa beans.

Do not hesitate to add bandaged wood in your preparation of arranged rums and let your creativity flow towards original recipes.

For generations, indigenous communities have integrated Muira Puama into their everyday practices, especially for making infusions or aromatic macerations. Its versatility and cultural significance continue to inspire those seeking authentic natural products that enrich both flavor and tradition.

How to use bandaged wood?

Muira Puama invites creativity, whether in traditional recipes or modern wellness routines. Its applications are varied, ranging from enhancing beverages to adding depth to self-care rituals.

Infusions and flavored spirits

Many of our clients enjoy preparing infusions by steeping bandaged wood pieces in alcohol—such as rum—to create distinctive homemade blends. During maceration, the wood gradually releases its signature aromas, enriching your drinks with earthy notes and complexity. Simply place a stick in your preferred bottle, allow it to rest for a few weeks, then savor it alone or in creative cocktails.

For a non-alcoholic option, try using Muira Puama in warm water infusions. Combined with herbs or spices, it develops soothing and fragrant drinks perfect for relaxing or sharing with friends.

Care and storage recommendations

To preserve the quality of your bandaged wood, store it in its original packaging or transfer it to an airtight glass container away from light and humidity. Proper storage maintains its aroma and texture, so you can enjoy all the nuances of this unique Amazonian specialty.

If you wish to prepare larger batches of infusion, avoid leaving the wood exposed to air for too long. This prevents loss of fragrance and guarantees vivid extraction for your recipes. We recommend periodically checking the wood’s appearance to detect any changes, which could signal exposure to moisture or other elements outside our standard of excellence.

All our bandaged wood is imported in compliance with French and European regulations concerning forest-sourced botanicals. Each batch comes with the necessary phytosanitary documents and observes CITES (Convention on International Trade in Endangered Species) requirements where applicable.

Our commitment safeguards biodiversity while guaranteeing legally compliant, safe-to-consume products. You can rely on our rigorous controls and transparent processes at every stage. These assurances reflect our dedication to responsible commerce and reinforce the trust between producer and client.
