Kiaat, Muninga, and Mukwa are the three different names given to Pterocarpus Angolensis, the tree found in southern parts of Africa. It is popularly known as the Bloodwood tree because of the kind of dark red colored liquid it produces from its wood. When you chop its trunk or damage its branch, a red-colored fluid drips down on the ground and reminds you of an animal’s wounded limb. This liquid, which looks like blood, is sticky and reddish-brown in color. It seals the wound and promotes healing.
