YerbaMaté

A delicious, all-natural way to... 
Lose weight 
Boost energy 
Stimulate alertness 

Yerbamaté is widely 
regarded as an excellent appetite suppressor when consumed 15 to 
20 minutes before meals. It is also renowned for its vitamin and 
mineral content and its ability to energize and revitalize the 
body and mind, as well as improve concentration and physical 
endurance. It is known to help relieve allergy symptoms, act as 
a gentle diuretic and colon cleanse, nutritionally accelerate 
the healing process and protect against stress. Some experts 
believe Yerbamaté to be the most powerful rejuvenator known to 
man. The stronger the tea, the more remarkable the 
results.

Serving Suggestions
Bring water or milk to a 
simmer. Do not boil. For mild beverage use one tsp. or one tea 
bag per cup. For medicinal strength use one Tbs. or 2-3 tea bags 
per cup. Steep 3-5 minutes. If using loose tea, for best results 
sip through a bombilla. Alternatively, strain loose tea before 
drinking.

YerbaMaté—A Primer
One of the premier beverages of South 
America is ilex paraguariensis, or yerba maté. There is an old 
Guarani Indian legend that relates the origins of the Guarani in 
the Forests of Paraguay. According to the legend, the ancestors 
of the Guarani at one time in the distant past crossed a great 
and spacious ocean from a far land to settle in the Americas. 
They found the land both wonderful yet full of dangers; through 
diligence and effort they subdued the land and inaugurated a new 
civilization. There were two brothers that vied for leadership 
of the people: Tupi and Guarani. Eventually they feuded and 
divided the people into two separate nations. Each nation, or 
tribe, adopted the name of the brother who was its leader. 
Guarani was the younger, fair-skinned brother, while Tupi, the 
older brother, had a darker skin. 
The darker Tupi tribes 
adopted a more fierce, nomadic lifestyle, rejecting the 
agricultural traditions of their fathers. They engaged in the 
practice of drinking large quantities of a caffeine-containing 
drink prepared from the guarana tree.

The Guarani tribes 
became a stable, God-fearing people who worked the land and 
became excellent craftsmen. They looked forward to the coming of 
a tall, fair-skinned, blue eyed, bearded God (Pa'i Shume) who, 
according to legend, eventually did appear and was pleased with 
the Guarani. He imparted religious instruction and taught them 
concerning certain agricultural practices which would benefit 
them in times of drought and pestilence as well as on a 
day-to-day basis. Significantly, He unlocked the secrets of 
health and medicine and revealed the healing qualities of native 
plants. One of the most important of these secrets was how to 
harvest and prepare the leaves of the yerba maté tree. The maté 
beverage was meant to ensure health, vitality and longevity. The 
choice of favorite drink by the Tupi and Guarani came to 
symbolize opposition between the respective groups. The yerba 
maté of Guarani, reflecting the agricultural and domestic nature 
of these Indians, provided many more beneficial properties than 
the Tupi's guarana, which symbolized their preoccupation with 
running wild and free and their reliance on brute strength and 
the need to physically excel. Maté became the most common 
ingredient in household cures of the Guarani, and remains so to 
this day.

In current practice in industrialized, modem 
Argentina and Paraguay, maté tea is made from the leaves steeped 
in hot water. Actually, a large quantity of ground leaf is first 
soaked in cold water, then the hot water is added, over and over 
again, until all the good stuff has been extracted. In between 
each addition of hot water the tea is ingested through a special 
wood or metal straw, called a bombilla, that filters out the 
leafy material.

Among the native Guarani, the natural use of 
maté for healthful purposes has persisted. They use it to boost 
immunity, cleanse and detoxify the blood, tone the nervous 
system, restore youthful hair color, retard aging, combat 
fatigue, stimulate the mind, control the appetite, reduce the 
effects of debilitating disease, and so forth.

Several 
attempts to characterize part or all of the constituents of maté 
have been made during the last few decades. The one thing that 
unites the various assays is the consistent detection of 
numerous vitamins and minerals. There is the usual array of 
resins, fiber, volatile oil, tannins that characterize many 
plant substances. But then there is the growing list of vitamins 
and minerals, including carotene, vitamins A, C, E, BI, B2, B 
complex, riboflavin, nicotinic acid, pantothenic acid, biotin, 
vitamin C complex, magnesium, calcium, iron, sodium, potassium, 
manganese, silicon, phosphates, sulphur, chlorophyll, choline, 
and inositol. Different assays find different nutrients; there 
is probably no single assay that has found all of them.

One 
group of investigators from the Pasteur Institute and the Paris 
Scientific Society concluded that maté contains practically all 
of the vitamins necessary to sustain life. They focused 
especially on pantothenic acid, remarking that it is rare to 
find a plant with so much of this significant and vital 
nutrient. It is indeed difficult to find a plant in any area of 
the world equal to maté in nutritional value.

In addition, 
maté contains xanthine alkaloids. Though only small amounts of 
xanthine occur in maté, the presence of this substance has 
generated a huge amount of attention. The xanthine in maté is 
called matéine. Matéine is thought by most authorities to be 
identical to caffeine; but the effects of maté on the body are 
substantially different from those of simple caffeine. Doctors 
sometimes find it useful to give yerba maté to their patients 
who need to stop using caffeine products for health reasons. As 
mention in the chapter on Pharmacology, it seems to be the 
pattern of xanthine constituents in a plant that lends to it a 
distinctive profile.

There is only one xanthine property that 
seems to be shared by all xanthines: smooth muscle relaxation. 
It is this action that makes them, with the exception of 
caffeine, whose smooth muscle relaxant effects are diminished by 
other properties, good clinical dilators of the bronchi and 
hence useful in the treatment of asthma.

The effect of yerba 
maté may not even be attributable to any degree to the caffeine, 
yet its stimulant nature is well known. Researchers at the Free 
Hygienic Institute of Hamburg, Germany, concluded that the 
amount of caffeine in maté is so tiny that it would take 100 tea 
bags of maté in a six ounce cup of water to equal the caffeine 
in a six ounce serving of regular coffee (an opinion not shared 
by all experts). They make the rather astute observation that it 
is obvious that the active principle in yerba maté is not 
caffeine!

At any rate, maté appears to possess the best 
combination of xanthine properties possible. For example, like 
other xanthines, it stimulates the central nervous system, but 
unlike most, it is not habituating or addicting. Likewise, 
unlike caffeine, it induces better, not worse, attributes of 
sleep. It is a mild, not a strong, diuretic, as are many 
xanthines. It relaxes peripheral blood vessels, thereby reducing 
blood pressure, without the strong pressor effects on the 
medulla and heart exhibited by some xanthines. We also know that 
it improves psychomotor performance without the typical 
xanthine-induced depressant after effects.

Dr. Jose Martin, 
Director of the National Institute of Technology in Paraguay, 
writes, "New research and better technology have shown that 
while matéine has a chemical constituency similar to caffeine, 
the molecular binding is different. matéine has none of the ill 
effects of caffeine." And Horacio Conesa, professor at the 
University of Buenos Aires Medical School, states, "There is not 
a single medical contraindication" for ingesting maté. Clinical 
studies show, in fact, that individuals with caffeine 
sensitivities can ingest maté without adverse 
reactions.

Summarizing the clinical studies of France, 
Germany, Argentina and other countries, it appears that we may 
be dealing here with the most powerful rejuvenator known to man. 
Unlike the guarana of the Tupi, the coca of the Incas, the 
coffee of India, or the tea of China, maté rejuvenates not by 
the false hopes of caffeine, but simply through the wealth of 
its nutrients.

Dieters use maté to suppress the appetite, 
while providing necessary nutrition, energy and improved 
elimination.

Better than any other xanthine alkaloid, maté 
has the ability to quicken the mind, increase mental alertness 
and acuity, and do it without any side effects such as 
nervousness and jitters. These observations have been made time 
and again by qualified medical experts as well as by the lay 
user. The effects of maté on the nervous system are varied and 
not very well understood. The best guess is that it acts like a 
tonic, stimulating a weakened and depressed nervous system and 
sedating an overexcited one. Certainly the nutritiona] value of 
the plant cannot be overlooked as a possible substrate for 
improved health and function.

Our knowledge of maté's effects 
are currently limited almost exclusively to observations on 
gross changes in behavior: more energy and vitality, better 
ability to concentrate, less nervousness, agitation and anxiety, 
increased resistance to both physical and mental fatigue. One 
consistent observation is the improvement in mood, especially in 
depression, that follows the ingestion of the tea. This may be a 
direct result, or it may be an indirect result of increased 
energy.

Anecdotal reports of improved memory have not been 
substantiated experimentally or clinically, but are logical, and 
may again be attributed the nutrients, especially choline, and 
important central nervous system neurotransmitter. One of the 
remarkable aspects of maté is that it does not interfere with 
sleep cycles; in fact, it has a tendency to balance the cycles, 
inducing more REM sleep when necessary, or increasing the amount 
of time spent in delta states. Many people report that they 
require less sleep when using maté usually such an experience is 
accompanied by a deeper more relaxing sleep.

Heart ailments 
of all kinds have been treated and/or prevented through yerba 
maté use. Yerba maté supplies many of nutrients required by the 
heart for growth and repair. In addition, it increases the 
supply of oxygen to the heart, especially during periods of 
stress or exercise. The metabolic effects of maté appear to 
include the prevention of anaerobic glycolysis and the resulting 
build up of lactic acid during exercise. Reports of maté 
reducing blood pressure are not uncommon.

A consistent 
observation in most South American literature on maté is that it 
increases the immune response capability of the body, 
stimulating the natural resistance to disease. This also 
involves a nourishing and strengthening effect on the ill 
person, both during the course of the illness and during 
convalescence, sometimes dramatically accelerating recovery 
times.

Maté has long been known to prevent and reduce 
fatigue. The most logical mechanism of action at this time seems 
to be a direct stimulating effect on metabolism in muscle cells. 
Additionally, there is growing clinical evidence that maté 
stimulates the adrenal glands to produce corticosteroids. This 
mechanism of action may account for the commonly observed action 
of maté to decrease the severity and incidence of allergy and 
hay fever. The adrenocortical action may help explain reported 
cases of hypoglycemic patients responding to maté. It is 
possible that maté, by stimulating the adrenal cortex to secrete 
glucocorticoids, helps balance blood glucose levels. Similarly, 
it may also stimulate the production of mineralcorticoids, 
thereby helping to regulate electrolyte metabolism. These 
hypotheses are attractive, given certain clinical observations, 
but need to be scrutinized more closely in experimental 
settings. maté reduces the effects of stress on the body; this 
property probably involves a combination of effects on the 
endocrine system, the nervous system and the immune system, but 
is one of the most important of the herb's actions.

The 
combined effect of all of the above properties of maté on 
thermogenesis is to augment the action of ephedra, tone the 
adrenals, nurture the entire body, increase energy, mildly 
suppress the appetite, and improve cardiovascular function. None 
of these actions is extremely powerful, but added together, they 
may contribute a large measure of beneficial synergy with other 
thennogenic substances.

Increased Energy and Vitality with New Tonic Tea Tablets
By 
James A. May 
The hottest new entrant into the supplement 
market is the new concentrated tonic tea extract tablets from 
Wisdom of the Ancients. Each tablet is equal to a cup of the 
tonic tea or one heaping tablespoon of the raw herb. This new 
product offers consumers the same high quality benefits of 
Wisdom of the Ancients teas, with the convenience of easy to 
swallow tablets

For thousands of years people who have 
understood the power of nature have made tonic teas from special 
herbs which contain the specific nutrients and phytochemicals 
required by the body to bring itself to, and maintain a state of 
vibrant energy and vitality as well as to stimulate its own 
healing processes

These days nearly everyone is looking for a 
simple but effective way to increase energy, mental alertness 
and longevity. We all want to keep our bodies healthy and free 
from disease. But just how does one empower his or her body in 
such a way that it can overcome illness rapidly and help you to 
feel really good nearly all of the time?

The new concentrated 
tonic tea tablets are made by preparing a concentrated tonic 
tea, thus extracting the vital nutrients and phytochemicals from 
the correct species of the pure herbs harvested right out of the 
virgin rain forests of Paraguay. The water is removed leaving 
the health restoring nutrients which are then bound together 
with oat bran and pressed into tablet;.

THE MEDICINAL HERBS 
OF PARAGUAY
Renowned among medicinal herbs are YerbaMate and 
Lapacho (also called Pau d'arco or Taheebo in other parts of 
South America) and Stevia They are powerful herb tea tonics that 
literally power up the healing mechanisms of the human body. 
Because their function is to ignite and fuel the body's own 
ability to energize and heal itself.they are effective against 
numerous conditions. People worldwide who understand how the 
body heals itself and maintains health and well-being prepare 
and drink these special tonics daily.

These medicinal tonic 
strength teas have been in constant use for thousands of years. 
Originally they were used to restore health and vitality during 
times of fatigue or illness. Over time people began to drink 
them daily because they learned that the teas effectively helped 
them to maintain health, energy and alertness and appeared to 
increase longevity in a healthy, energized condition.

YERBA 
MATÉ - NATURAL ENERGY AND NUTRITION
People seeking increased 
energy and alertness are enthusiastic about the effectiveness 
and convenience of the YerbaMate Tonic Tablets.

An example is 
the experience of one of my sons. Following a full day of work 
in Las Vegas he had to make a six hour drive to get to his home 
in Provo, Utah. For years our practice has been to make a strong 
tonic brew of YerbaMate Royale and drink a cup or_more when we 
start a trip and as soon as we begin to feel road fatigue. 
YerbaMate is incredibly effective in giving greatly increased 
mental alertness and physical energy within minutes, and is 
completely safe with no side effects.

However, on this 
occasion he had no opportunity to make the YerbaMate tonic tea 
before starting the long trip home. He did have some of the new 
concentrated tea tablets with him and decided to use them. The 
problem was that he took 12 tablets, about 2 every hour, which 
was too many. Not only was he totally alert for the entire drive 
home, he was wide awake and alert all night. This did give him a 
chance to catch up on the college homework he had missed while 
away.

Because he had classes to attend and work to accomplish 
during the day he continued taking the YerbaMate tablets and 
drinking a mild and delicious tasting brew of YerbaMate Royale. 
He also stayed up all of the following night doing research and 
writing a paper, still using the tea and tablets until his 
project was finished, sleeping only about three hours during the 
entire time.

I discovered that 4 to 6 tablets are enough to 
keep me alert for a drive of 5 to 6 hours following a full day 
of work and 2 to 4 tablets offer a wonderful renewal of energy 
and alertness at any time it is needed. Sometimes I put a couple 
under my tongue for the sub-lingual effect. The increased energy 
and alertness was evident within minutes.

When held in the 
mouth or under the tongue the taste isn't anything to cheer 
about but the results are felt rapidly. The remarkable thing 
about YerbaMate tea or tablets is that there is never a 
noticeable let down from the energy and alertness. The process 
is completely natural.

LAPACHO - SOUTH AMERICAN IMMUNITY 
MARVEL
Many people believe that Lapacho may be one of the most 
effective natural healing substances known to man. From all that 
has been written about this amazing herb one quickly gets the 
idea that it is useful for just about everything. Numerous 
articles and chapters in books have been devoted to this herb 
and the diseases and conditions that it is purported to 
heal.

The best way to get the maximum benefit from Lapacho 
tea is to the blend the YerbaM ate Royale herb into the Lapacho 
tea after it has been simmered for 10 minutes in reverse osmosis 
or distilled water. YerbaMate, according to the Paraguayan 
experts, becomes the catalyst that activates the numerous 
healing compounds found in the inner lining (phloem) of the 
Lapacho tree.

While this tonic tea blend is extraordinarily 
effective, it is time consuming and is somewhat difficult to 
prepare. If you are seeking optimum healing results, it is 
necessary to drink six to eight cups a day for a several weeks 
and then at least two or three cups per day for maintenance. 
With the new concentrated tonic tea tablets you simply swallow 
the desired number of each with a large glass of 
water.

Choice as well as convenience is another benefit of 
these new concentrated tonic tablets. They can be taken 
individually for specific results or taken together for their 
combined effect, just as one would combine the tonic 
teas.

STEVIA - MUCH MORE THAN A SWEETENER
Stevia Concentrate 
Tablets are also now available in health food stores, and they 
are sweeter than you think. Not in taste but in what they do for 
the human body. Stevia is fantastic!

Wisdom of the Ancients 
introduced a highly concentrated water-based Stevia extract to 
consumers years ago. It was first marketed for its use in skin 
care, for which it has exceptional properties, and since 
September 1995, when the FDA changed its ruling, as a dietary 
supplement.

Stevia leaves and especially the water-based 
concentrate have wonderful healing effects within the human 
body. Research has shown that in its natural form Stevia 
nourishes the pancreas, thus helping to regulate both high and 
low blood sugar. It also tends to lower high blood pressure 
while having no effect on normal or low blood 
pressure.

STEVIA AND WEIGHT MANAGEMENT
Stevia users have 
long insisted that the leaves (usually ground and used in tea 
bag form) and concentrate reduced their appetite and their 
craving for sweets and fatty foods, thus being a very effective 
aid in weight loss.

Research now underway suggests that 
natural Stevia may be beneficial for people who are overweight. 
It is believed that a defect exists between the stomach and the 
hypothalamus in many people who are overweight, which fails to 
"turn off' hunger sensations when the person is actually full. 
It appears, from the initial research, that Stevia may correct 
this defect and actually reset the hunger mechanism, thus 
"turning off' hunger sensations when satiation has 
occurred.

If this proves to be correct, Stevia may be one of 
the most important aids to weight management ever discovered. 
One would simply add Stevia leaves, whole or pulverized, or the 
natural dark concentrate or the tablets to the daily diet. The 
concentrate and the leaves, either whole or ground to a powder, 
are excellent in cooking and baking.

The new Stevia 
concentrate tablets are intended to be used as a true dietary 
supplement. Each tablet is equal to 30 drops of the water-based 
Stevia concentrate and should be swallowed with water.

People 
who use Stevia Concentrate to help balance blood sugar levels 
have reported that they have found 30 drops of the Stevia 
concentrate, taken two or three times a day to be useful in 
helping to manage their condition. Some doctors have recommended 
6-8 drops six times a day.

People looking for help in 
managing weight, blood sugar, blood pressure and simply 
nourishing the pancreas, as well as 'lust naturally" reducing 
their craving for sweets and fats are enthusiastic about the new 
tablets. Although the tablets offer great convenience, people 
interested in using Stevia for healing skin problems will either 
want to continue to use the liquid concentrate, or have both of 
them and use each one for its own specific benefits. Some 
experts suggest that Stevia is destined to be known as one of 
the most important nutritional discoveries of our century.

In 
our fast paced -- I want it now! -- society, many people are not 
willing to take the time required to prepare and drink these 
remarkable health tonics, no matter how effective they are. The 
new concentrated tonic tea tablets will offer natural healing 
and energizing benefits to people who just couldn't take the 
time to prepare and drink effective tonic teas or use the 
concentrate in other foods and beverages.

combines the health benefits of South America’s “Beverage of the 
Gods”–known as yerbamaté–and the soothing flavor and aroma of 
the finest vanilla in the world from Madagascar. This certified 
organic herb tea boosts your energy and calms your nerves at the 
same time. It is filled with naturally occurring vitamins and 
minerals including carotene, A, C, E, and B complex; magnesium, 
calcium, iron and chlorophyll, to name a few. Athletes drink it 
to improve physical endurance and performance; students and 
executives drink it to improve concentration and alertness; 
families drink it to improve their overall health and to protect 
against stress. Vanilla Wisdom™ is an excellent appetite 
suppressant when consumed 15–20 minutes before meals and acts as 
a gentle diuretic and colon cleanse. Vanilla Wisdom™ may be 
enjoyed throughout the day on a daily basis.
