Peganum Harmala Seeds

More Information

Description

Peganum harmala seeds come from a hardy, flowering plant native to the Middle East, North Africa, and Central Asia. These small, dark brown to black seeds are rich in β-carboline alkaloids—primarily harmine, harmaline, and tetrahydroharmine—which act as reversible MAO-A inhibitors. Traditionally, Syrian Rue seeds have been used in spiritual and folk medicine practices for their psychoactive, purifying, and protective properties. In modern times, they are often used in the preparation of Ayahuasca analogues and are researched for their potential antidepressant, neuroprotective, and antiparasitic effects. The seeds can be used in raw, powdered, or extracted forms.
