What is Mucuna pruriens?
Mucuna pruriens, commonly known as Kaunch or Velvet Bean, is a vigorous annual or perennial climbing legume found in tropical and subtropical regions.

Mature pods are collected and carefully processed to obtain the seeds. The seeds are cleaned to remove foreign matter and dried under appropriate conditions. Depending on the intended application, they may be further processed into whole seeds, seed powder, or standardized botanical extract. Processing should be carried out under appropriate quality-control conditions, particularly when standardized L-DOPA content is required.

Traditionally, Kaunch is valued for its association with vitality, stamina, reproductive wellness, and general well-being.
