Kapikacchu (Mucuna pruriens), also known as Kaunch Beej or Atmagupta, is a potent Ayurvedic herb celebrated for its Vrishya (aphrodisiac), Balya (strengthening), and Rasayana (rejuvenating) properties.
Renowned for its ability to nourish the nervous system, strengthen reproductive tissues, and boost vitality, Kapikacchu has been used for centuries in classical Vajikarana (Aphrodisiac Therapy) and Medhya (cognitive-enhancing) formulas.
It contains L-Dopa, a natural precursor to dopamine, making it highly beneficial in neurological and psychological conditions like Parkinson’s disease, anxiety, and depression.
With Madhura (sweet) and Tikta (bitter) Rasa, Guru (heavy) and Snigdha (unctuous) Guna, Ushna (hot) Virya, and Madhura Vipaka, Kapikacchu balances Vata and Pitta while mildly increasing Kapha.
