Mimosa Pudica is a herb that has a long history of use in India stemming back to ancient times. The Mimosa seeds are classified as Mucilaginous meaning they swell up to create a gel when in the digestive tract. Once this gel forms, it is able to help scrub the digestive tract. It is used for intestinal support and acts as a powerful gut cleaner. Mimosa is also rich in antioxidants and helps support overall immune system health. Double Wood's Mimosa Pudica Seed Extract (10:1) is manufactured and tested for safety right here in the USA.
