About Guacatonga
This bag holds only the leaf of Casearia sylvestris, wild-harvested, then dried and ground with nothing added. Our Guacatonga Capsules hold the leaf and stem together.
The tea is steeped rather than boiled: a teaspoon in a covered cup of just-boiled water for 10 minutes, then strained. A quarter to half a cup goes with each meal, 2 or 3 times a day. More in our Guacatonga herb guide.

What are the benefits of Guacatonga?
Guacatonga supports digestive comfort.* This bag holds the leaf, ground for a steeped tea taken with meals.
Where does the name "lizard herb" come from?
From Brazilian folklore, which links the plant to the tegu lizard and its battles with snakes. So two of its Portuguese names mean "lizard herb" and "lizard wood": Erva-de-Lagarto and Pau-de-Lagarto. It is a legend, not something anyone has seen.
Is Guacatonga Powder the same as the capsules?
Not quite. The bag holds the leaf alone, for tea, while Guacatonga Capsules hold the leaf and stem, 450 mg in each capsule. The table above compares the two.
