We’re surprised that relaxing tea in the health food shop doesn’t contain any mulungu! Mulungu is sleep-inducing, calming and 100% natural.
What is Mulungu?
The mulungu tree (Erythrina mulungu) loves the swampy ground which is common in the Amazon region. The tree grows up to 14 metres in height and produces many branches. The tree’s bark is harvested for making a relaxant. The bark contains a strong, naturally calming substance. Although mulungu has been in use for centuries in Brazil, the leaves have not been known in Europe for very long.
Effects of Mulungu
Within half an hour of taking mulungu tea you will begin to feel pleasantly lethargic. Your thoughts will recede into the background and any worries will be reduced before going to sleep. Mulungu is then, in the first place, a sleep inducer but it is also used for other purposes.
Some people use mulungu in combination with cannabis (pure) to reduce the craving for cigarettes. You can also lower stress with the herb at a lower dose (1 teaspoon). A higher dose (6+ teaspoons) will have an adverse effect. Although physically very relaxing, you can expect to have a restless night. It might make you have a lot of dreams which is why mulungu is also used as a dream herb. Shamans add mulungu to the hallucinogenic drink ayahuasca to make a trip more relaxed.
Please note: Mulungu has a narcotic effect so don’t drive after taking it!
Taste and Preparation
Add 2 heaped teaspoonful's to a small pan of 250 ml boiling water. Place a lid on the pan. It’s important to cover the pan. It is not recommended to pour hot water on like you would with a teabag. Leave it boiling for 20 minutes on low temperatures. Filter out the bark from the tea. Let it cool down and enjoy! Mulungu tastes slightly of aniseed. It’s best compared with slippery elm. Not really an unpleasant taste but certainly a pronounced one.

I tried différent ways to prepare it, i even doubled the quantities but still nothing.
Why? Maybe I prepare it wrong?
Customer service: Dear Charlotte, we're very sorry to hear that and thank you for your review! Much appreciated. What generally really helps is to leave mulungu in hot water for longer to make it absorb more of those active ingredients. One recommmend preparation is to leave mulungu to simmer for an hour on the stove to do just that. Please let us know if that works for you through our customer service contact form on the customer service page located at the top.
