60ml Glass Jar | 25g Finely Ground Root | Origin: Mexico
Known in Nahuatl as Chilcoat—“chil” for its spicy sensation and “coatl” for the snake-like shape of the root—this rare and sacred plant is native to the highlands of north-central Mexico. Traditionally used by Indigenous communities for its unique flavor and strong medicinal properties, Chilcuague is a botanical ally revered for its tingling, electric effect and potent cleansing action.
Our finely powdered Chilcuague root comes from the Asteraceae family, sharing similar properties with the more widely known Toothache Plant (Spilanthes oleracea). When placed on the tongue or gums, it activates salivation, numbs discomfort, and floods the mouth with an unmistakable zing—an experience as energizing as it is purifying.
Stimulating & Cleansing: Sparks a strong tingling sensation that awakens the senses and clears stagnation from the mouth and throat.
Traditionally Protective: Used to support oral health, soothe tooth and throat discomfort, and ward off unwanted invaders.
Rare & Revered: Native to only a few regions of Mexico (Guanajuato, San Luis Potosí, Querétaro), Chilcuague is a regional treasure still largely unknown in the West.
Energetically Potent: Considered a “hot” medicine—activating, protective, and energizing on both physical and subtle levels.
This root may be used as-is by placing a pinch directly on the gums or tongue, or it can be infused into tinctures, sprays, or oils. It is also traditionally added in small amounts to foods and spirits for both flavor and vitality.
Chilcuague is the same plant featured in our popular Chilcuague Spray—a festival favorite and go-to for on-the-go oral cleansing and energetic reset.
Chilcuague is generally safe, however, complications may arise if:
