Guaco

A climbing vine of the tropical forests, its bitter stem long boiled by shore healers into a brew for chesty coughs and troubled breathing — handy stores for any crew who've caught a chill crossing rough water.

Traditional use: Guaco (Mikania species) is traditionally used in folk herbalism to support respiratory comfort and to help clear the airways, and as a general blood-purifying tonic.

How it's brewed: boil one piece of the root in a litre of spring water for 30 minutes, strain, and drink 2 cups per day.

This product is a traditional herbal item and is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure or prevent any disease. Always consult a healthcare professional before use, particularly if pregnant, breastfeeding, or on medication.

Note to crew: several closely related Mikania species are traded as "Guaco" and the exact species in this pack could not be confirmed with full confidence — flagged for manual review.

Ship's Terms: Shipments within the U.K sail via Royal Mail Tracked 48. Shipments beyond our shores sail via Royal Mail® International Tracked, 3-6 days to port. Take heed: this crew sails from the U.K. Any cargo bound for foreign shores may be boarded by customs and charged duties or taxes on arrival — that toll be yours to pay, not ours. Chart your own country's import rules via the Department for International Trade before ye order. On overcharges: should your bank statement show a sum heavier than the price at the till, know this be no trickery — the Pound often outweighs the Dollar and other currencies, so what lands on your statement may run higher than what you saw at checkout. Our thanks for your understanding, shipmate. Every delivery must be signed for upon arrival. No refunds be given once the goods have set sail.
