Background: Native to Brazil, guarana has been made into cakes that were then used to make a tea. The tea was used to treat diarrhea or fatigue. It is comparative to coffee when drunk as a tea. In fact many people native to Brazil drink guarana instead of coffee.

Gaurana can be used to treat many of the same maladies that caffeine treats - such as headache and improved energy. Guarana can also treat diarrhea. While it does have some positive uses, guarana should not be used long-term because it can cause damage to the intestines and inhibit the body's ability to restore itself.

Applications: Energy/Anti-diarrheal

Guarana is primarily used as an energy-booster.

Energy: Guarana can be used short-term to help increase energy. However, long-term use has some of the same negative side effects of drinking too much coffee.

Diarrhea: Guarana can be used to help treat symptoms of diarrhea.
