The Benefits of Mulungu in Alternative Medicine
Mulungu (Erythrina
mulungu) is a natural remedy said to offer a variety of health benefits.
Extracted from the mulungu tree, a tree native to South America, mulungu is
available in dietary supplement form. Since the herb is thought to possess
sedative properties, mulungu is often used as a treatment for anxiety.
You can find mulungu
in many natural-foods stores and in stores specializing in dietary supplements.
It's also widely available for purchase online.
Uses
In alternative
medicine, mulungu is said to help with the following conditions:
Anxiety
High blood pressure
Insomnia
Mulungu is purported to alleviate pain and support
weight loss. It is also thought to act as an anticonvulsant and, in turn,
protect against epileptic seizures.
Health Benefits
To date, few studies
have tested the health effects of mulungu. However, some preliminary research
in animals indicates that mulungu may offer certain health benefits. Here's a
look at some key findings from the available studies.
1. Anxiety
Several studies show
that mulungu holds promise in the treatment of anxiety. For example, a study
published in the Journal of Pharmacy & Pharmacology found that extracts of
mulungu bark helped lower anxiety in mice by depressing the central nervous
system.
Additionally, a 2003
study from Biological & Pharmaceutical Bulletin found that rats treated
with mulungu extract experienced a decrease in anxiety. Given this finding, the
study's authors suggest that mulungu may help manage such conditions as
generalized anxiety disorder and panic disorder. However, more research is
needed before mulungu can be recommended for treatment of anxiety-related
conditions.
2. Pain
Mulungu may help
lessen pain, according to a 2003 study from Biological & Pharmaceutical
Bulletin. In tests on mice, the study's authors determined that mulungu extract
may act as an antinociceptive, a substance that reduces the body's sensitivity
to painful stimuli.
3. Epilepsy
Mulungu may have
anticonvulsant effects, according to an animal-based study published in
Epilepsy & Behavior in 2012. In the study, researchers found that
erysothrine, a compound extracted from the flowers of the mulungu plant, helped
inhibit seizures and also produced mild anti-anxiety effects.
Health and Safety Concerns
Due to a lack of
research, little is known about the safety of long-term or regular use of
mulungu. However, there's some concern that mulungu may cause drowsiness.
Additionally, mulungu may be harmful to people with low blood pressure.
It's important to
keep in mind that supplements haven't been tested for safety and dietary
supplements are largely unregulated. In some cases, the product may deliver
doses that differ from the specified amount for each herb. In other cases, the
product may be contaminated with other substances such as metals. Also, the
safety of supplements in pregnant women, nursing mothers, children, and those
with medical conditions or who are taking medications has not been established.
Alternatives
While research on
the health effects of mulungu is limited, a number of other natural remedies
appear to aid in anxiety management. For example, research suggests that herbs
like passion flower, kava, and valerian may each help ease anxiety.
What's more, there's
some evidence that alternative therapies and mind-body practices like yoga,
meditation, guided imagery, massage, acupuncture, and hypnosis may also help
manage anxiety. When used in aromatherapy, essential oils like lavender and
rose may also have anxiety-relieving effects.
Using Mulungu for Health
Due to the limited
research, it's too soon to recommend mulungu as a treatment for any condition.
It's important to note that self-treating a chronic condition with mulungu and
avoiding or delaying standard care may have serious consequences. If you're
considering the use of mulungu in the treatment of a condition (such as
epilepsy), make sure to talk to your doctor before starting any new supplement
regimen.
