Detailed Ingredient Information

• Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa): 100% pure, whole dried herb (primarily the root and aerial parts).

• Active Compounds: Contains the alkaloid Punarnavine, as well as rotenoids, flavonoids (quercetin), lignans, and potassium salts which contribute to its powerful diuretic effect.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Renal Support: Acts as a potent natural diuretic that helps in managing kidney dysfunction, reducing urea and creatinine levels, and preventing kidney stone formation.

• Edema & Swelling: Highly effective in treating systemic swelling (Shotha), water retention, and dropsy by balancing the Kapha and Pitta doshas.

• Liver Detoxification: Stimulates bile secretion and protects liver cells, making it useful in managing jaundice, hepatitis, and fatty liver conditions.

• Heart Health: Supports cardiac function by reducing the workload on the heart through fluid management and maintaining healthy blood pressure levels.

• Urinary Tract Comfort: Helps soothe the urinary tract and provides relief from painful or burning urination (Dysuria).

Precautions

• Dehydration: Due to its strong diuretic (Mutrala) action, ensure adequate water intake to prevent dehydration.

• Pregnancy: Consult an Ayurvedic physician before use; it is generally advised to be used with caution during pregnancy.

• Blood Pressure Medication: If you are already on pharmaceutical diuretics or BP medication, monitor your levels closely as Punarnava may enhance their effects.

• Iron Supplementation: Some traditional texts suggest avoiding Punarnava during acute iron-deficiency treatment unless directed by a Vaidya.
