Mapacho (Nicotiana rustica), especially in its traditional use by indigenous tribes, is believed to possess several physical healing properties. While it is primarily used for spiritual and ceremonial purposes, it is also thought to have certain benefits for the body. Some of its physical healing properties include:
 
Anti-inflammatory effects: Mapacho is believed to help reduce inflammation in the body, which can assist in alleviating pain or discomfort, particularly in muscles and joints.
 
Antimicrobial properties: It has been traditionally used as a natural remedy to treat infections, cuts, and wounds due to its antimicrobial and antiseptic qualities. It may help cleanse and disinfect skin injuries.
 
Pain relief: The topical application or use in smoke form is believed to help manage pain by relaxing muscles and easing tension in the body.
 
Detoxification: Mapacho is traditionally used to detoxify the body by promoting sweat and encouraging the release of toxins during ceremonies or rituals. This is believed to help cleanse both the body and the spirit.
 
Digestive aid: In some practices, Mapacho has been used to calm the digestive system, relieve nausea, and ease gastrointestinal issues, often through ceremonial use or preparation.
 
Mapacho's physical healing properties are often intertwined with spiritual and emotional healing in traditional indigenous practices.
