Mulungu
Mulungu is a potent sleep herb from the Amazon that is little known in the west, though starting to grow in popularity due to its effectiveness. It has a long history of use in the traditional medicines of Brazil and Peru, where its used as a natural treatment for nervous disorders—insomnia, anxiety, depression, and stress—due to its natural sedative effects. Mulungu calms the nervous system, encouraging healthy sleeping patterns, and can also help with acute stress like moments of hysteria, panic, trauma, or shock; it has also been used to treat epilepsy due to its ability to sedate overactive neurotransmitters. It promote well-being in a very physical sense.
Due to its ability to strengthen and tone the liver, Mulungu has also been used to treat hepatitis and liver disorders; it lowers blood pressure and can be used as a heart tonic to treat palpitations. Mulungu is rich in antioxidants, as well as potent alkaloids, which can effectively relieve anxiety without the negative side-effects of pharmaceutical medication. It is antispasmodic as well, which can help with the symptoms of asthma, bronchitis, and coughs.
Due to its ability to block nicotine receptors, Mulungu can also help people quitting tobacco, and it acts as a competitive nicotine antagonist; its sedating properties can also assist with withdrawal symptoms for anyone going quitting nicotine or drugs.
Note: in high doses, it can cause drowsiness. It should be taken with caution by anyone taking medication to lower blood pressure or those who already have low blood pressure.
