Mulungu Root Powder (Erythrina mulungu)

Traditional and Historic Uses: Erythrina mulungu, or “Mulungu” is a tree native to Brazil, that has been used for centuries in Brazilian traditional medicine. Historically, Mulungu was used for various purposes, such as to relieve pain, aid sleep, lower blood pressure, and treat conditions like depression, anxiety, and epileptic seizures. Today it is often consumed in Brazil to assist relaxation. (For historical context only, these statements have not been evaluated by the FDA.

Mulungu root is typically brewed into a tea with around 3g-14g of material steeped into water, which is often filtered or decanted. Each batch can be brewed twice, many consolidate both washes.

Suggested Use: Consult your physician to make sure Mulungu tea is right for you

Deep in the heart of the jungles of  the Amazon, in an ecosystem of extreme biodiversity, you may find this beautiful vine if you are fortunate enough. Mulungu is like the Kava Kava of South America, but many find the effects of Mulungu to be significantly more desirable. It even smells relaxing, upon opening the package your nose immediately is welcomed by a non invasive, but rich cedar-like aroma.

Mulungu was mainly only available in South America until recently. It has started to take off in popularity in the US. We are currently working on several extracts of this plant, as we find it very promising.
