What is Yapana (or Ayapana)?
Yapana is a plant native to Amazonia, belonging to the Asteraceae family. It is grown in tropical regions such as Réunion and Martinique, where it is used as a medicinal and aromatic plant. Its leaves have a characteristic odour and are rich in coumarin, a substance with anticoagulant, anti-inflammatory and antiseptic properties. Yapana is best known for its benefits for digestion, fever, the throat and the skin. It is used as an infusion, essential oil or poultice. It is a plant much appreciated by local people, who call it a "miracle plant". Yapana has a pleasant taste and interesting effects on the body and mind.
We grow our own Yapana ourselves:
It's in our DNA to control every stage of the value chain, starting with the cultivation of the plants. We make it a point of honour to grow or select high-performance plants, and to monitor plantations, all with respect for living organisms. This crucial stage then produces products with exceptional value for money. We've been established for many years in the French overseas departments and territories, including Réunion, Guadeloupe and Martinique. So it was only natural that we chose to grow our own Yapana.
Historically, our first Yapana crop was grown on Marie-Galante. Little by little, we needed more Yapana to meet growing demand, so we launched a second crop on Réunion Island. If you'd like to find out more about this, take a look at the following article: "Our Yapana: an abundant harvest of superior quality". As you can read in this article, we use the Yapana we harvest to make our Yapana+ herbal tea, but also in cosmetics, in our body lotion for example, or in our moisturising face cream. Of course, our crops are pesticide-free!
