Mucuna Pruriens, also known as Velvet Bean, is a traditional herb used for centuries in Ayurveda and other global healing systems. Revered as a tonic for the nervous system and reproductive vitality, Mucuna is perhaps most widely known for its naturally occurring L-DOPA a direct precursor to dopamine, the neurotransmitter associated with motivation, mood, and movement. 
 
In Ayurveda, Mucuna is often classified as a rasayana a rejuvenating herb that supports vitality, longevity, and mental clarity. Traditionally used to restore depleted energy and promote joyful well-being, it has been valued for its ability to uplift the spirit, strengthen sexual energy, and support the body’s natural response to stress and fatigue.
