Erythrina mulungu (Mulungu) Dried Bark Powder

Description

The bark of Erythrina mulungu, known as Mulungu, has traditionally been used in Brazil as a natural sedative. It has been known to stabilize the central nervous system and calm the nerves in times of stress. The herb contains large amounts of novel flavanoids, triterpenes and alkaloids.

Mulungu bark powder is also traditionally used in South America to treat hepatitis and liver disorders. It is thought to tone and strengthen the liver, and help to clear obstructions and reduce inflammation. Mulungu is also traditionally used as an antispasmodic for asthma, bronchitis and coughs.

To prepare a decoction / tea of Mulungu.

Use 1 tsp. of the powdered bark for each cup (250ml) of water. Using medium-high heat, bring the water to a boil in an open pot and then add the powdered bark. Reduce the heat to medium-low and place the lid on the pot. Allow the mixture to simmer for 20 minutes.

Pour the mixture through a fine strainer and allow it to cool before drinking. Refrigerate unused portions in a well sealed container.
