What Is Mimosa Pudica?
Mimosa Pudica is a perennial herb that has been used in Ayurvedic and Chinese medicine for thousands of years. It belongs to the pea and legume family. Its nickname is the ‘shy plant’ because the leaves of the plant shrink to the touch.
Benefits of Mimosa Pudica
Mimosa Pudica offers a large variety of health benefits, particularly for the digestive system. Among other benefits, it’s high in antioxidants and may help balance gut flora. It has detoxifying properties and may also help relieve other ailments, such as sciatica and liver damage.
Healthy Intestinal Tract
The bark of Mimosa Pudica is very fibrous and is used in promoting a healthy digestive tract.
It can remove parasites and biofilm by scraping down the walls of the digestive system. Mimosa Pudica bark has been especially effective in promoting healthy bowel movements, contributing to overall gut health.
Doctors also believe there is a direct correlation between gut health and mental health, so Mimosa Pudica is often used to boost energy and reverse mood disorders. Just a few mood disorders that this herb has been used to treat include:
- Depression
- Anxiety
- Insomnia
- Panic attacks
Detoxification Support
Mimosa Pudica bark has a wide variety of detoxifying properties. It’s loaded with antioxidants and anti-inflammatory compounds as well as phytochemicals.
It also contains superoxide dismutase, a powerful antioxidant that occurs naturally in the human body. Yet as you age, the amount of superoxide dismutase in your body declines. Mimosa Pudica can help replace this antioxidant in your system.
Antidiarrheal and Antimicrobial Properties
Mimosa Pudica has also been used as a topical treatment on boils and cuts — thanks to its antimicrobial properties. It is also used internally to treat diarrhea and loose stools. Mimosa Pudica is also very glutinous, so it’s often used to control ulcers.
