The Incas discover the coca medicinal and magical properties 2,000 a.c., but the large industrialized nations found other

applications for the coca leaves that have nothing to do with beneficial applications for the human being.

The coca plant is essentially a medicinal plant per excellence, whose preventive and therapeutic properties have demonstrated their effectiveness throughout time.

Erythroxylon is the botanical name of the coca herbals and there is a full in deep study made by Antonio Brack Egg a Peruvian scientific biologist who devoted more than twenty years studying Peruvian native plants under the financial support of the United Nations Development Program and CBC (Centro de Estudios Reginales Andinos Bartolome de Las Casas.

It is not by chance that the plant has acquired a broad and diverse range of applications in the traditional medicine of the indigenous people. Its irreplaceable qualities have been demonstrated over time and throughout a vast territory. The coca leaf has established itself as the traditional remedy for treating physiological and psychological illness, and by virtue of its composition it is a powerful energy restorer for curing stomach and digestive ailments, alleviating affections of the larynx and vocal chords, preventing vertigo, regulating arterial pressure and the metabolism of carbohydrates, and even of improving sexual prowess.
