Ziziphus Joazeiro, also known as Zizyphus Joazeiro or simply Jua, is a tree native to the tropical regions of South America. Its occurrence is specifically in Brazil. This tree can reach a height of up to 10 metres and its fruit consists of small spherical drupes 1-2 centimetres in diameter. The characteristic features of Ziziphus Joazeiro are its large light green leaves and white flowers with a delicate fragrance.
An important product produced from this tree is a natural medicinal shampoo. Its preparation involves the use of the bark of the tree, which is rich in saponins, substances with natural cleansing and foaming properties. The shampoo obtained from Jua is therefore very popular for its gentle and natural action without chemical additives. In addition, the bark extract of the tree is also used in folk medicine, especially for the treatment of skin problems and respiratory diseases. In addition, the fruit and leaves of the tree are used as animal feed and also made into drinks and teas. The bark and wood of Ziziphus Joazeiro are also used in traditional handicrafts, where they are used to make furniture and various tools, for example.
