It is native to South America and can be found in the Amazon region of Brazil, Ecuador, Peru, and the three Guyanas. Ayapana has three different Latin names (Ayapana triplinervis, Eupatorium ayapana, and E. triplinerve) but all three names refer to the same plant. It has a long history of use as a natural digestive aid in Peruvian herbal medicine.* To learn more about this wonderful rainforest plant, go to theTropical Plant Database file on Ayapana.
