Cipo Cabeludo:
Cipo Cabeludo is a small shrub 13-18 cm in height with white flowers. It is native to many parts of Brazil, possessing molluscacidal, diuretic, stimulant and anti-albuminuric properties. The medicinal parts are the leaves and the bark.

Cipo cabeludo is widely used in Brazilian herbal medicine and highly regarded as a powerful diuretic. Its main documented uses there are for cystitis, urethritis, gout, urinary tract infections, blennorrhagia, prostatitis, gallstones, kidney stones, and to help lower uric acid levels in the urine and blood. It is a preferred natural remedy for nephritis and is considered helpful in removing mucous from the urinary and bronchial tracts. It also is employed as an analgesic for neuralgia, chronic rheumatism and arthritis, and general muscle pain.

Traditional Remedy:
2–4 ounces of a standard herb infusion or decoction once or twice daily, or 10–20 ml of a standard tincture daily is generally recommended in Brazilian herbal medicine.

Contraindications:
  • Cipo cabeludo is used in herbal medicine as a diuretic. While these effects have not been confirmed scientifically, use of this plant may be contraindicated in various medical conditions where diuretics are not appropriate. Chronic long-term use of any diuretic can cause electrolyte and mineral imbalances as well as other medical problems and are generally not recommended; therefore, avoid chronic use of this plant.

Consult your doctor before using this plant if you are taking coumadin drugs (or if coumadin anticoagulant-type drugs are contraindicated for your condition)
