Mulungu Powder
Mulungu Powder has a long traditional use in Brazil as a natural sedative, used for nervous disorders such as insomnia, anxiety, stress, hysteria, and panic. This herb tones and strengthens the liver, and is used to lower blood pressure as well as a cardio tonic. Studies indicate it may be useful for quitting tobacco, as it blocks nicotine receptors and acts as a competitive nicotine antagonist.
Preparation
1-2 tsp/cup, simmer 15 mins, or 1-2 ml of tincture as needed. Take it about 20 mins before bedtime as many people feel its effects quite quickly.
