Mucuna pruriens is a tropical legume also known as Kapikachhu, velvet bean, cowitch, and cowhage. It is a constituent of more than 200 indigenous herbal formulations. It has been used since ancient times in Ayurvedic medicine, most commonly as a Parkinson’s disease treatment and for overall brain health.
Within every herbal remedy lies active ingredients that help contribute to its medicinal value. In Mucuna pruriens, the primary compound is known as levodopa, or L-dopa, a precursor to dopamine, adrenaline, and noradrenaline. Dopamine is often associated with pleasure, yet it plays a critical role in muscle control. It is responsible for many functions including movement, memory, pleasurable reward, behavior and cognition, attention, sleep, mood, and learning. Examples of abnormal levels of dopamine production can be seen in Parkinson’s disease and drug addiction.
Mucuna pruriens offers a natural way to replenish your supply of L-dopa, and as a result helps promote brain health. In addition to brain health, this herb may also help with stress relief. One study of 120 men on psychological stress showed that supplementation with Mucuna pruriens significantly eased stress within the subjects.
While its brain health benefits are what Mucuna pruriens is most known for, its health benefits span a wide range that include:
- Increases libido.
- Increases sperm count in men and ovulation in women.
- Acts as a restorative nutrient for the nervous system.
- Increases blood circulation to the genitals.
- Decreases symptoms of stress and anxiety. Calms nerves.
- Reduces inflammation.
- Strengthens and tones the sexual glands.
- Increases stamina.
- Releases bound up testosterone, increasing the level of bio-available testosterone.
- Reduces fat and improves muscle tone. (By supporting healthy testosterone levels, Mucuna pruriens supports anabolic metabolism, increasing your tendency to burn fat and to build muscle.)
You can find Mucuna pruriens in many herbal formulas (including Jon Barron’s Women’s Formula) as well as in powder, tablet, or capsule form.

Essential Tremor
Marie, sorry to hear of your condition. I realize a year has passed … perhaps in this time you have found something that helps.
I just wanted to comment that some years ago I was bitten by a dog. Without thinking twice, I followed “medical protocol” and went for a tetanus shot. I subsequently acquired an essential tremor.
In comparison to what you described, my condition is mild.
Only a bit of a shake in my neck when tired or when sitting with poor posture, nothing else.
In my mind, some crap from this shot, perhaps (or even likely) mercury (easily crosses the blood brain barrier) lodged itself and this is the result.
I just wanted to comment … If you believe your tremors could be vaccine related, you might consult a “natural healing” expert who has cleansed metals (or whatever you think it might be) from brains.
I wish the best for you,
Jerry
