Specialty Definition: MUCUNA PRURIENS

DomainDefinition

Botanical

The green pods are cooked like stringbeans. Mature seeds, considered aphrodisiac, have served as a flour source in some Mucuna species. The roots are used to treat cholera. If the hairs get in eyes, wash with olive oil or fat. Hairs, taken internally as a vermifuge, are reportedly used externally as an aphrodisiac. The seeds are used for necklaces and buttons. Darienitas pocket them as good-luck charms. (references)
