History and Uses:
Griffonia Seed comes from the beans of a vine native to Africa. In African folk medicine, Griffonia Seed is reputed to be an aphrodisiac, as well as an antibiotic and a remedy for diarrhea, vomiting and stomachache. Recent research suggests that Griffonia Seed raises serotonin levels in the brain. Serotonin is important in regulating brain chemistry and is especially important in problems such as depression, insomnia and eating disorders. Theoretically, supplementing with Griffonia Seed can raise serotonin levels and provide relief from the symptoms of depression and insomnia. Griffonia Seed may also regulate appetite through the increase in serotonin. This activity can lead to weight reduction in overweight persons, while helping to normalize the weight of people suffering from anorexia nervosa. Griffonia Seed has also been used in treating fibromyalgia and chronic headaches in order to reduce pain.
