Sourced from forest-grown plants and collected by indigenous communities, these dried seeds are valued for their wide range of therapeutic and adaptogenic benefits.

Known for its support to neurological health, vitality, reproductive wellness, and stress reduction, Velvet Bean (botanically called Mucuna pruriens) is one of Ayurveda’s most respected herbs.

Key Benefits of Velvet Bean (Poonaikali Vithai)

1. Natural Source of L-Dopa for Brain & Mood Health

Velvet Bean seeds are rich in L-Dopa, a direct precursor to dopamine, making it highly beneficial for brain function, mood regulation, and stress resilience. It is commonly used to support those with low dopamine levels or neurological conditions.

2. Supports Male Fertility and Reproductive Health

Traditionally used as a male fertility booster, Poonaikali Vithai helps enhance libido, stamina, and sperm quality. It nourishes the reproductive system and promotes hormonal balance, making it popular in both Ayurvedic and Siddha practices.

3. Strengthens the Nervous System

This adaptogenic herb is known to calm the nerves, reduce anxiety, and help the body better cope with physical and mental stress. It is often used to support focus, clarity, and overall mental wellbeing.

4. Traditional Use in Ayurvedic Panchakarma

Velvet Bean is a valuable component in Ayurvedic detox therapies. It is often used for supporting liver health, removing toxins, and balancing the doshas—especially Vata and Kapha.
