''Erythrina mulungu'' (Mulungu) is a Brazilian ornamental tree and medicinal plant native to the ''cerrado'' and ''caatinga'' ecoregions in Brazil, South America. Studies show that the herb is a sedative, and has anxiolytic and anticonvulsant properties, with the active components thought to be the tetrahydroisoquinoline alkaloids erythravine and (+)-11α-hydroxy-erythravine. == Medicinal uses == Mulungu is not very widely known or used in North America; mostly appearing as an ingredient in only a few herbal formulas for anxiety or depression.〔http://www.rain-tree.com/mulungu.htm〕 Typical preparation is to make an infusion of the bark or root and drink the infusion as a calmative. Other methods include preparing a tincture, which is then consumed in small amounts. Some sites include warnings about mulungu's potency as a sedative. 抄文引用元・出典: フリー百科事典『 ウィキペディア（Wikipedia）』 ■ウィキペディアで「Erythrina mulungu」の詳細全文を読む スポンサード リンク
