About this herb
Mucuna seed powder, Kapikacchu.
Mucuna pruriens, also known as Velvet Bean, is a climbing leguminous shrub native to Africa and parts of Asia, now naturalized in tropical regions worldwide. This Fabaceae family plant produces vibrant purple to white flowers that ripen into fuzzy seedpods, each containing up to seven shiny, flattened seeds.
Historically revered in Ayurveda, Unani, and Traditional Chinese practice (TCM), Mucuna pruriens has been used for centuries as a nourishing adaptogen to support overall wellness. In Ayurveda, it is known as Kapikacchu, a tridoshic herb traditionally mixed with ghee, milk, or honey.
