Chilcuague, also known as "Aztec Gold Root," is gaining popularity for its unique tingling and buzzing sensation in the mouth and on the lips, providing a short-lasting but enjoyable experience with a pleasant afterglow. This ancient Mexican root, renowned for its medicinal properties, is now a popular addition to wellness regimens. Our Chilcuague is made from a concentrated extract produced through hydro-alcoholic extraction using roots sourced from Mexico.

What is Chilcuague?

Chilcuague, a rare plant in the sunflower family (Asteraceae), is primarily found in north-central Mexico. Its name combines "chil" (spicy) and "coatl" (snake), reflecting its shape and taste. Traditionally used in Mexican cuisine and alcoholic beverages, it has recently become known in the West for its enjoyable sensory experience.

Sensory Effects

Chilcuague provides an extraordinary sensory experience. Upon application, it invokes an invigorating tingling and "electric" buzzing sensation in the mouth, often described as a "party in the mouth." A strong dose can make speaking feel unusual, leading to funny and altered speech. The sensation intensifies when licking the lips, spreading across the face.

Chilcuague immediately triggers salivation, filling the mouth with saliva that promotes relaxation and rejuvenation. This salivation, rich in natural healing agents, extends the pleasurable sensations for up to ten minutes, heightening the sense of taste. The experience can be even more profound when used in a quiet, meditative setting, providing a refreshing reset for the mouth.

Therapeutic Effects

Research suggests Chilcuague offers various therapeutic benefits, enhancing bodily comfort and positively affecting the bacterial flora in the mouth and gut. It stimulates the nervous system, boosts energy levels and mental clarity, and aids in detoxification processes. Its analgesic and antiseptic properties support oral health, providing relief from tooth sensitivity and eliminating bad breath.

Chemical Composition

Chilcuague's key bioactive component is affinin (spilanthol), known for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and immunomodulatory effects. The extract also contains antioxidants, polyamines, polyphenols, flavonoids, and tannins, contributing to its health benefits.

Traditional Uses

In Mexican traditional medicine, Chilcuague has been used for its pungent flavor and numbing effects, anti-parasitic properties, and as a natural insecticide.

How to Use

Spray Chilcuague tincture in the mouth using the included sprayer, avoiding the throat to prevent irritation. Start with one spray and increase to 2-4 sprays for a stronger effect. Allow salivation for several minutes before swallowing, gently swish the saliva through the mouth to enhance the experience. Avoid spraying in the eyes.

Bodily Fluid Secretion and Detoxification

Chilcuague promotes bodily fluid secretion, aiding detoxification processes. It stimulates salivation, distributing beneficial compounds throughout the mouth and supporting oral health by neutralizing acids, washing away food particles, and distributing antimicrobial proteins and enzymes.

Maintaining a healthy oral microbiome with Chilcuague can positively influence the gut microbiome, enhancing overall digestive health. Its unique sensory and therapeutic effects make it a valuable addition to any wellness regimen.

Precautions

Chilcuague is generally safe when used as a food flavoring. However, complications may arise if:

You are allergic to plants in the daisy family.
You consume alcohol, as it may prolong intoxication.
You use diuretics or have prostate cancer, due to its diuretic and hormone-interacting properties.
You are pregnant, as high intake may lead to birth defects.

Introduction

Jambu, Electric Daisy, aka The Toothache Plant, is known for its culinary uses in Asian and South American cultures. It produces a mild, pleasant electric zingy feeling in the mouth and promotes saliva production, aiding in the growth of beneficial mouth bacteria. Our Chilcuague (Heliopsis longipes) tincture offers a much stronger effect. The Toothache Plant features unique flowers resembling yellow olives with a deep red center, giving it a distinctive look. As a member of the Asteraceae family, it shares characteristics with asters, daisies, and cornflowers, but with a unique flower and memorable numbing effect.

In northern Brazil, fresh leaves of the Toothache Plant are added to salads for their unique flavor. Cooking diminishes its taste, so it is primarily used for its nutritional value and numbing property. The leaves are rich in vitamins A, C, and K, lutein, and magnesium.

Our Jambu tincture is a classic maceration according to HAB 3A of the German pharmacopoeia, harvested and produced in the Netherlands.

Other names: Jambu, Toothache plant, Electric daisy, Paracress, Buzz buttons, Schezuan buttons. Spilanthes oleracea, Spilanthes acmella

Usage

Use the included dropper to apply one full dropper (1 ml) of Jambu tincture in the mouth. Close your mouth and allow salivation for a few minutes before swallowing. Swishing saliva through the mouth and along the gums enhances the experience and benefits the bacterial flora. Licking your lips will intensify and broaden the sensation, which continues for several minutes after swallowing.

Precautions

You are allergic to plants in the daisy family.
You consume alcohol, as it may prolong intoxication.
You use diuretics or have prostate cancer, due to its diuretic and hormone-interacting properties.
You are pregnant, as high intake may lead to birth defects.
