Known as Jurema and considered sacred by many Indian tribes in the northeast of Brazil, its the only tree to survive the long dry periods of the Brazilian Caatinga and still be green and vibrating with life!

Tribesmen would evoke the connection to the spirit of this plant at a ritualistic ceremony known as Toré. Dressed up in long straw costumes the Indians chant, dance and drink a brew called Vinho de Jurema, which is said to open the gates of the spirit world. The Jurema is also widely used In the Candomble and Ubanda religions. In their ceremonies the Jurema root bark is burned to evoke the spirits of nature.

leaving only the most powerful part of the plant, for preparing
sacraments, according to the Umbanda religion.
