Mucuna pruriens is the Latin name for a creeping vine that grows all over India. Mucuna pruriens is primarily sweet and bitter, and is quite warming. Mucuna pruriens has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for over two thousand years. There are traditional uses for the root and the trichomes (the irritating hairs themselves), but it is the seed of Mucuna pruriens that is most often employed therapeutically.
