The Guaraní people have a long and rich history that is closely tied to their respect for nature and the medicinal properties of plants. For centuries, they have relied on herbs and plants to maintain their health and wellness, and their traditional practices have been passed down from generation to generation.
The Guaraní people believe that everything in nature is interconnected, and they view plants as sacred entities that have the power to heal and restore balance to the body. They have a deep understanding of the medicinal properties of plants and use them to treat a wide range of ailments, including digestive problems, respiratory issues, and skin conditions.
In the Guaraní language, the word "Tesai" means "herb" or "plant." However, it also has a deeper meaning that reflects their belief in the natural healing properties of plants. For the Guaraní people, "Tesai" also means "health," emphasizing the strong connection between plants and well-being.
At Pur Tesai, our mission is deeply rooted in the wisdom of the Guaraní people of South America, an indigenous culture known for its profound connection to nature and holistic health practices. The name "Tesai" means "health" in Guaraní, symbolizing our commitment to natural, holistic well-being. For centuries, the Guaraní people of Paraguay, Argentina, Brazil, and Bolivia have thrived on a plant-rich diet, utilizing nutrient-dense superfoods, medicinal herbs, and adaptogenic plants to sustain their health, energy, and longevity. From deep rainforest botanicals to riverbank greens, the GuaranÍ have mastered the art of harnessing nature’s most powerful ingredients—many of which are now featured in Pur Tesai's flagship product, TesaiGreens Ultra Blend.
