Botanical information and research

The Bobinsana tree is a tropical species native to South America, especially around the Amazon regions that extend themselves across the countries of Brazil, Bolivia, Colombia, Ecuador, and Peru.

It can be found from terrains closer to streams and riversides, as it is a water-loving plant, all the way to the high Eastern Andean slopes, growing up to an average height of 5 meters tall.

It is part of the Mimosa plant family, and as such, it can produce powderpuff-like flowers with hues varying from pink to red, as well as a resinous gum that is often extracted and sold for commercial purposes.

Amino acids, alkaloids, flavonoids, tannins, sterols, and saponins are amongst the substances believed to compose this plant.

Swedish researchers have looked into the anti-inflammatory properties of this plant, and have concluded that it can inhibit the synthesis of a substance associated with arthritis and rheumatism, which might explain why Bobinsana has been traditionally used to treat such issues for such a long time.
