Description Top

Suggest a correction or write a new one!
Erythrina mulungu, also known as Mulungu, is a tree native to Brazil that can reach up to 15 meters in height. Its red-orange seeds have a high germination rate and are used in traditional medicine as a sedative and to treat various conditions such as high blood pressure, insomnia, and depression. However, the seeds are considered highly toxic and ingestion should be avoided. Mulungu is also used by indigenous peoples in the Amazon as a medicine, insecticide, and fish poison. Its chemical composition includes tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids, which have been found to have sedative effects. While it is available in commercial preparations in Brazil, it is not widely known in other parts of the world.
