California Customers: WARNING
Mucuna’s affinity for the nervous system makes it an excellent tonic for vata dosha or anyone seeking to calm and nourish their nerves. By balancing vata in this delicate system of the body, mucuna supports the body’s natural ability to maintain healthy neuromuscular movements and overall resiliency.*
Our Fair for Life Fair Trade certified mucuna is cultivated on farms in and around Rajasthan, India, where the seeds are directly sown in the field in the summer after the ground has been moistened by rainfall. The crop then grows until winter, at which time the mature beans are harvested, dried, and ground into powder for use.
