Patola(Trichosanthes dioica) bharad 1kg by manikarnika aushadhalaya

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Pure Trichosanthes dioica (100%): The pack contains only the dried, coarsely crushed aerial parts (leaves and stems) of the Patola plant, free from any additives.

• Active Constituents: Rich in medicinal bitters, tannins, saponins, triterpenoids, and essential minerals such as magnesium, potassium, and sulfur.

• Ayurvedic Properties: It possesses a Tikta (Bitter) taste, Ushna (Hot) potency (though it acts as a coolant for the blood), and Laghu (Light) and Rooksha (Dry) qualities. It primarily balances Pitta and Kapha doshas.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Blood Purification (Rakta-Shodhana): Acts as a powerful detoxifier, clearing metabolic toxins (Ama) from the bloodstream to treat chronic skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, and inflammatory acne.

• Hepatoprotective (Liver Support): Stimulates bile secretion and improves liver function; it is a staple in Ayurvedic protocols for jaundice and fatty liver.

• Digestive Stimulant: Naturally improves appetite (Aruchihara) and digestion while clearing intestinal worms (Krimihara).

• Fever Management: Highly effective in treating chronic and intermittent fevers (Vishama Jwara) and reducing associated burning sensations in the body.

• Cardiovascular Health: Helps in clearing arterial blockages (Kapha-clearing) and is traditionally used to support healthy cholesterol levels.

• Wound Healing: When used as a decoction wash, it acts as a “Vrana Shodhana” (wound cleanser), assisting in the healing of non-healing or infected ulcers.

Precautions

• Vata Aggravation: Due to its “Rooksha” (dry) and “Tikta” (bitter) nature, excessive or long-term use without a balancing agent may aggravate Vata, leading to dryness or constipation.

• Pregnancy & Lactation: Because of its potent bitter alkaloids and “Ushna” (hot) potency, it should only be used under the direct supervision of an Ayurvedic physician.

• Gastric Sensitivity: Individuals with extremely high gastric acidity should take the decoction after meals or as directed by a Vaidya to avoid mild irritation.

• Bulk Usage: As a 1kg pack, ensure the material is free from dust or sand by a quick rinse before boiling, though Manikarnika usually ensures high-grade cleaning.
