MATE
COCA is
a medicinal tea made from the leaves of the Coca plant (Erythroxylon).
This tea has been used for over four thousand years by the
people of South America. Coca was and is still considered
a sacred aspect of the Andean culture. It is only in this
past century that the chemical configuration was changed to
make the drug cocaine. Since then, the rest of the world has
seen Coca as the raw material for the drug cocaine and not
as the medicinal plant used for thousands of years. Coca was
and is still used at every stage of the Andean peoples lives.
Before giving birth, a woman drinks and chews Coca to hasten
the labor and ease the pain. When a child is born, relatives
celebrate by chewing the Coca leaf together. When a young
man wants to marry a girl, he offers Coca to her father. And
when somebody dies, Mate De Coca is drunk at the wake and
a small pile of leaves are placed in the coffin before burial.
From ancient times, these rituals were considered sacred,
and as such, the Coca leaf continues to have a great significance
in the culture of the Andean people
Andean
People have used coca leaf as a remedy for thousands of years.
Coca might be useful as a treatment for gastrointestinal ailments
and motion sickness, as a fast-acting antidepressant medication,
as a substitute stimulant for coffee in certain cases, and
as an adjunct in programs of weight reduction and physical
fitness. In leaf form, coca does not produce toxicity or dependence.
Its effects are distinct from those of cocaine, which is but
one of a number of active compounds in the leaf. Coca can
be administered as a chewing gum containing a whole extract
of the leaf, including alkaloids, natural flavors, and several
nutrients.
