Mimosa flower is currently found growing in disturbed areas such as roadsides, forest edges and various open habitats throughout the US. It was brought from southern and eastern Asia and introduced to the United States in 1745. The flowers and bark are a most valued Chinese botanical and have been used in Traditional Chinese Medicine as “The Happiness Herb.”
Many people use the tincture to support restful sleep, as well as calming and lifting one’s spirit.
