Charles Darwin called it &#8220;the ideal stimulant&#8221;. It is estimated that the South American inhabitants consume approximately 8 million pounds of yerba mate each year. The herb is exported to the United States and other countries.<\/p>\n<p>The tea as a beverage effects a surprising rejuvenation of the human organism. One drinking it, especially for the first time, feels a remarkable inflow of strength, energy, and cheerfulness, as a direct and almost immediate result.<\/p>\n<p>The early Jesuit missionaries learned the use of this herb from the South American Indians and found the brew so refreshing and healthful that they risked their lives searching for the small trees in the dense jungles of Brazil. Later they brought the tree under cultivation near their missions and mate` became widely known as &#8220;Jesuit&#8217;s tea&#8221; or &#8220;missionaries tea&#8221;. It is said that the Jesuits added the word yerba (herb) to the Indian name mate`, which comes from a word meaning &#8220;drinking vessel&#8221; or &#8220;gourd&#8221;.<\/p>\n<p>In the book <i>The Magic of Herbs in Daily Living<\/i> by Richard Lucas, there is a story about a 75 year old widower, living with his son and his family, was slipping mentally. Grandpa could not remember their names; it was necessary to lead him to the bathroom, he couldn&#8217;t find it by himself. <\/p>\n<p>One day the son came across an article on yerba mate and immediately bought a pound of the herb. Grandpa liked the tea, and a month later, having taken the tea in the meantime, the son heard grandpa get up early one morning. To the son&#8217;s amazement, grandpa, all by himself, was just coming out of the bathroom. He shamed his son for staying in bed so late and stated that he guessed he would have to make his own tea that morning.<\/p>\n<p>The family supplemented grandpa&#8217;s diet with dolomite pills (2 tablets 3 times a day) plus lecithin and wheat germ oil. Three months later grandpa&#8217;s memory was dramatically improved. He could easily remember all the names of his relatives and friends, and even that of the neighbor down the block. He was cheerful, energetic, and took an active and lively interest in the world around him.<br \/>\n            <a href=\"#top\"><font size=\"-1\">Back to Top<\/font><\/a><\/p>\n<hr size=3 width=80% COLOR=\"#004040\" align=\"center\">\n<h3><a name=\"Uses\">Uses<\/a><\/h3>\n<p>For arthritis, headache, migraine, neuralgia, insomnia, hemorrhoids, fluid retention, obesity, fatigue, stress, constipation, allergies, and hay fever.
