Anti-Anxiety Herbs

Mulungu and Graviola are two anti-anxiety herbs that have
been in use for a long time as natural anti-depressants and
stress relievers.

Erythrina Mulungu, commonly known by several names such as
Mulungu, Murungu, Murungo, Muchocho and so on, is a medium
sized tree that grows to a height of 10-15 meters, and
brings forth a profusion of flowers. The bark and root of
this plant are used as medicines to reduce anxiety and
stress, and also as a pain reliever. The herb reduces blood
pressure, regulates heartbeat, and acts as a sedative.
Mulungu has been in use for centuries in South America as a
natural anti-anxiety herb to calm agitated nerves. The herb
is used to reduce anxiety and promote restful sleep. It is
also useful in treating asthma, bronchitis, and liver
conditions. A study in 2002 found that the plant does
possess the properties of anxiety and stress relief,
confirming the validity of the native usages of the plant
for these purposes.

Graviola is small evergreen tree that is about 5-6 meters
in height. The leaves, fruits, bark, roots and seeds of
this plant have excellent medicinal properties, and have
been in use for centuries as indigenous medicines. Graviola
is used to relieve spasms and reduce depression. The bark,
leaves and roots of Graviola have sedative, antispasmodic
and hypotensive properties.

The anti-anxiety herbs marketed by Amazon Botanicals
contain these two herbs, and makes the user feel happier.
They are made from fully natural sources and are therefore
free of harmful side effects. At the same time, these
anti-anxiety herbs are fast and effective. They are faster
than St. John's Wort, and free of side effects and liver
toxicity that other herbs like Kava Kava induce.

The anti-anxiety herbs produced by Amazon Botanicals use
fresh Mulungu and Graviola and avoids fillers of any kind,
in contrast to other manufacturers who buy from secondary
sources, and use stale or adulterated products. This
ensures safety and efficacy of the herbal preparation that
is manufactured.

The products are available in two forms – anxiety tincture
and anxiety tea. The tincture is manufactured by extracting
100% pure Mulungu and Graviola in distilled water and 40%
alcohol. The suggested dosage is 60 ml twice a day taken
under the tongue or with water or juice. The tea is made
from 100% pure Mulungu and Graviola leaves and bark, and
comes with a natural flavor. The tea is to be prepared by
simmering the tea bags in water for thirty minutes or more.
Longer periods of simmering make the preparation stronger
by allowing more of the ingredients to be dissolved.

Persons with dangerously low blood pressure levels should
avoid use of the herb, as this is known to result in
further lowering of the blood pressure. Persons with high
blood pressure who are on medication should consult their
doctor, as use of the herb may require a reduction in the
dosage of the drug they are taking for treating high blood
pressure. The drug should also be avoided during pregnancy.
Large dosages of Graviola can cause nausea and vomiting.
