Wereke (Ibervillea sonorae), also known as Guareque, Melón de Coyote, or Raíz de Wereke (in Spanish), is a traditional Mexican medicinal root prized for its ability to support healthy blood sugar levels, liver function, and immune balance. Used for generations in Indigenous and herbal medicine, Wereke is known as a natural bitter tonic that helps cleanse and strengthen the body from within.
Rich in natural saponins, alkaloids, and antioxidants, Wereke works to improve insulin sensitivity, stimulate digestion, and detoxify the liver and bloodstream. It’s often used as a daily tonic or tea by those seeking balanced energy, stable glucose levels, and long-term metabolic wellness.
Traditionally, Wereke is also valued for helping relieve skin issues, fatigue, and inflammation, making it a trusted herb for restoring overall vitality and balance.
