Kayphal(Myrica esculenta) churna 250gm by manikarnika aushadhalaya

Detailed Ingredient Information

The product contains 100% pure herbal bark powder:

• Kayphal Bark (Myrica esculenta): The bark is rich in tannins, glycosides, and myricitrin. In Ayurvedic pharmacology, it is recognized for its Ushna Virya (hot potency) and Katu (pungent), Tikta (bitter), and Kashaya (astringent) tastes, which help in liquefying and expelling morbid Kapha.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Respiratory Management: Acts as a powerful expectorant and bronchodilator, providing relief from chronic cough, bronchitis, asthma, and common cold symptoms.

• Oral and Dental Care: Due to its astringent nature, it is highly effective when used as a tooth powder or gargle for tightening loose gums, stopping gingival bleeding, and reducing toothache.

• Sinusitis Relief: In clinical Ayurvedic practice, it is often used for Pradhamana Nasya (nasal insufflation) to clear congested sinuses and relieve heavy headaches.

• Digestive Aid: Helps in managing diarrhea and dysentery by absorbing excess moisture in the intestines and stimulating the digestive fire.

• Fever Management: Traditionally used to reduce body temperature in fevers associated with cold and shivering (Kapha-type fevers).

• Wound Healing: Applied topically, its styptic properties help in controlling minor bleeding and preventing infections in wounds.

Precautions

• High Pitta Caution: Due to its hot potency, individuals with high Pitta, stomach ulcers, or chronic acidity should use this herb only under medical supervision.

• Dosage: The typical internal dose is 1–3 grams twice daily, usually taken with honey (for cough) or warm water.

• Pregnancy and Lactation: Not recommended for use during pregnancy. Consult an Ayurvedic physician before use if breastfeeding.

• Side Effects: Excessive consumption can cause gastric irritation, nausea, or a burning sensation in the throat.

• Nasal Use: Nasal administration (Nasya) should only be performed under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to avoid irritation of the nasal mucosa.
