Fun Facts
The Indians used the leaves to prepare a ceremonial
drink by drying the leaves until they were black and crumbly, then
steeping in hot water. However, if the leaves were used
without going through the drying process, they produced a
memorable reaction on the human digestive system, hence the
addition of "vomitoria" to its name.
