Tepezcohuite Bark
1oz
Latin Name: Mimosa tenuiflora
Also known as: Jurema Preta, Skin Tree, The Regeneration Bark
Brief History & Origin
Tepezcohuite is the Bark of Regeneration, Skin Renewal, and Deep Healing, native to Mexico and parts of Central and South America, where it has been used for generations in Indigenous healing traditions.
It gained widespread recognition after being used to treat severe burns and skin trauma, showing an extraordinary ability to repair, regenerate, and protect damaged tissue. But long before that, it was already known as a sacred healing tree, used both physically and spiritually to restore what had been harmed.
In some traditions, this tree is also connected to ceremonial and spiritual practices, representing rebirth and transformation through the earth’s wisdom.
Spiritually, Tepezcohuite is the medicine of rebirth—the reminder that what has been damaged can be restored, renewed, and made whole again.
