N,N-dimethyltryptamine, or demate
The primary source of demat is the root bark of M.H. Because of the compound’s potent hallucinogenic properties, scientists and psychonauts have become quite interested in it. Additionally, it is a component of many religious and shamanic ceremonies. According to studies, Demet has little toxicity hazards aside from the acute cardiovascular effects (an increase in blood pressure and heart rate). However, it is a potent substance that may cause extreme anxiety, paranoia, and terror; these can all have both short-term and long-term psychological consequences on the user, as well as the perception of trolls lurking in the shadows.

Demate is present in human brain tissue in trace amounts, although its precise function in brain function is yet unknown. It is believed that the adrenal glands and lungs, rather than the brain, create it. It is known to bind to a number of brain receptors once it gets there, including glutamate, acetylcholine, dopamine, and serotonin receptors. Each of these receptors has a significant impact on behavior, mood, and/or various states of awareness.
In pre-Columbian times, Mimosa hostilis, also called Jurema preta in Brazil, was employed across the Amazonian lowlands. The Aztecs called it the “metal tree” Tepus-cauhuitl because of its solid and strong wood.
However, from older ethnographic literature, we know that Jurema drinks (Ajucá or veuêka) gave shamans fantastic and meaningful dreams and brought with them “magic, and even transported them to heaven” (Richard Evans Shultis and Albert Hoffman, “Botany and Chemistry” of Hallucinations, 1980). Regretfully, the precise recipes of the Jurema botanical sect’s traditional mimosa preparations have been lost.
The plant’s primary active component, N,N Dimethyltryptamine, makes up around 2% of the dried root bark’s bulk.
Regretfully, not enough research has been done on this chemical beyond the study Strassman began in the late 1990s and that Rick Dublin and the Mapps Society approved in 2014 to determine if it would have any useful clinical applications. Future studies might address the theories that demet could be utilized to treat anxiety or drug-related illnesses.
Serotonin (HT-5)
The root bark of M.H. can also be used to extract serotonin. Serotonin’s function in brain physiology is far more understood than Demet’s. This neurotransmitter is present and has a significant impact on mood and pleasant emotion neuromodulation, sleep and wakefulness, and cognitive flexibility.
Since selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors (SERTs) are among the most potent antidepressants, the function of serotonin in depression is likely the most researched component of the neurotransmitter. SERTs are essentially substances that raise serotonin levels in the brain to aid with mood regulation. The extraction of serotonin from M. H.’s root bark may one day be utilized for related scientific and research endeavors.
The compound yuremamine
One of the more recent substances identified in this tree is phytoindole yuramine, which was initially identified and isolated from the stem bark of MH in 2005. It is taken from the indigenous term “Yurema” (often written Jurema) for the mimosa hostilis tree in Brazil. So novel, in fact, that a fresh research was released in 2015 indicating that yuramine may be a flavo-alkaloid rather than an indole alkaloid.
Regretfully, research on the pharmacological effects of euramine is currently lacking. It is envisaged that both pharmaceutical corporations and university academics would soon choose to look into this interesting alkaloid. Its ability to inhibit monoamine oxidase (MAO) is one of its purported characteristics.
We may easily become enthused about the potential new uses for Mimosa Hostilis in the future given its extensive chemical profile. This tree’s traditional functions throughout the Americas are as diverse as the names it has been given.
Mimosa hostilis for cosmetic and anti-aging purposes:
People trust MA for reasons other than its well-known antifungal, antimicrobial, and wound-healing qualities.
The root bark powder’s restorative qualities were close allies in the native beauty regimen. Grandmothers have been teaching their children and granddaughters about their tiny Sudan since ancient times: the importance of tepazcoite as a natural anti-aging remedy and a means of preserving good skin and hair.
Native women utilize the tepezcohuite oils and soaps for their beauty treatments. These natural treatments help people prevent wrinkles, skin spots, and pregnancy stretch marks, as well as cure acne. They depend on MA to maintain their long, thick, and luscious hair, as well as to combat dandruff and promote hair development.
Salma Hayek, a Hollywood actress, stated in a 2015 interview with Elle magazine that she favors Mimosa Hostilis to Botox as part of her beauty regimen. To her astonishment, tepazcoite was little used in the United States. Mimosa hostilis is a prominent element in a range of cosmetics, skin care, and hair care products that she introduced in 2011.
