About Our Picralima Nitida for sale

Akuamma — or picralima nitida — is certainly one of the most timeless and fascinating African plants. Even today, centuries after its discovery, the plant remains somewhat shrouded in mystery.

Akuamma as an Anti-Inflammatory

Akuamma’s history as a folk medicine helped draw attention to its antidiarrheal and antimalarial applications. However, recent research is now underscoring the plant’s effectiveness as an anti-inflammatory — an application of the plant that was previously unexplored.

Akuamma as an Analgesic

According to other research, the seeds of picralima nitida also possess notable pain-relieving properties. In one study, researchers found that Akuamma “produced significant analgesic activity” and increased the pain threshold of rats.
