Hercampuri
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Hercampuri is a name applied to two species of Gentianella – Gentianella nitida and Gentianella alborosea.[1] It has been used in Peruvian folk medicine since before the time of the Incas. These small shrubs are native to the high Andes of Peru. The Junin Province is a region of Peru that grows hercampuri.
The whole plant[which?] is used as an infusion. The roots are thin and yellow in color and the infusion of hercampuri also has a yellow color.[citation needed]
