Akuamma

Picralima nitida, better known as Akuamma, is a plant from West Africa whose seeds are traditionally used. The ground seed, or Akuamma powder, contains a unique combination of natural alkaloids that are valued in different cultures.

Historically used in the herbal tradition as a natural support for daily comfort, has relaxing properties and contributes to a balanced sense of well-being.

Picralima nitida is an interesting tree with a rich history in traditional medicine. Some pharmacological studies of Akuamma botanical compounds have yielded very interesting results. A selected, isolated phytochemical substance in Akuamma plant material appears to have analgesic, and anti-inflammatory properties.

The seeds are mainly appreciated for their relaxing properties, but further studies are needed to scientifically confirm their safety and effectiveness.

The use of herbs can be valuable, but expert advice from a phytotherapist and/or doctor is always recommended.
