Bala(Sida cordifolia) bharad 100gm by manikarnika aushadhalaya

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Pure Sida cordifolia (100%): The pack contains only the dried, coarsely crushed roots and stems of the Bala plant.

• Active Constituents: Contains significant amounts of ephedrine, pseudoephedrine, phytosterols, potassium nitrate, and mucilage, which contribute to its stimulatory and soothing effects.

• Ayurvedic Properties: It is characterized by its Madhura (Sweet) taste, Sheeta (Cooling) potency, and Snigdha (Unctuous/Oily) quality. It is highly effective at balancing all three doshas, especially Vata.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Strength & Muscle Tone: Acts as a powerful “Balya” (tonic) that strengthens muscles, ligaments, and the nervous system; it is frequently used to treat muscle wasting and general debility.

• Neurological Support: Highly effective in managing Vata-related disorders such as sciatica, facial paralysis (Bell’s palsy), neuralgia, and joint pain.

• Respiratory Health: Functions as a mild bronchodilator and expectorant, providing relief from asthma, bronchitis, and chronic cough.

• Reproductive Tonic: Enhances vitality and is traditionally used to improve both male and female reproductive health, acting as a “Vrishya” (aphrodisiac).

• Diuretic & Urinary Support: Helps in treating urinary tract infections (UTIs) and painful urination due to its cooling and diuretic properties.

• Healing Agent: Its “Ropan” (healing) property aids in the recovery of internal tissues and external wounds when used as a wash or internal decoction.

Precautions

• Stimulant Content: Contains naturally occurring ephedrine; individuals with heart disease, high blood pressure, or hyperthyroidism should use it only under strict medical supervision.

• Insomnia/Anxiety: Because of its mildly stimulatory nature, excessive use late in the evening may interfere with sleep or increase restlessness in sensitive individuals.

• Pregnancy & Lactation: While used traditionally in “Masanumasiki” (monthly) pregnancy regimens, it must be taken under the guidance of a Vaidya to ensure correct dosage.

• Quality Check: Ensure the “Bharad” is dry and free from dust; always rinse quickly before preparing the decoction.
