Tagua is the valuable and highly sought after nut of a family of palm trees native to South America. Mayans, Incas, Aztecs, and natives of South and Central America used tagua for emotional and spiritual health and well-being. To them, tagua is as sacred as the coconut and bodhi trees are to the people of India and Southeast Asia. The meat of the tagua nut has the strength and intelligence of an elephant, thus natives of South America call it vegetable ivory. Because of its sanctity and healing properties, tagua has occupied an important place in every aspect of life from diet to medicine, rituals, fine arts, and jewelry. Indigenous healers use tagua to replenish vitality and cure diseases caused by low energy and a weak immune system. It has a direct bearing on our bone marrow.
Tagua corresponds to the sun and the energy corresponding to the solar plexus, and therefore is especially good for enhancing vitality, boosting the immune system, and cultivating will power and determination. In combination with pearls, tagua supports the tender virtues of the heart—love, compassion, and kindness.
