Laksha(Laccifer lacca) churna 25gm by manikarnika aushadhalaya

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Shuddha Laksha (Purified Shellac/Lac Resin): 100%. The churna is made by purifying the raw resinous secretion found on the twigs of specific host trees (like Palas or Ber). It contains active components such as laccaic acid, resins, and mineral ash. Its Ayurvedic profile is characterized by an astringent (Kashaya) taste, a light (Laghu) and dry (Ruksha) quality, and a cooling (Sheeta) potency that effectively balances Pitta and Kapha doshas.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Bone Healing (Asthi-Sandhanak): Renowned for its ability to speed up the healing of bone fractures, strengthen bone density, and improve the union of fractured ends.

• Ligament & Muscle Repair: Helps in the recovery of sports injuries, ligament tears, and muscle strains by promoting tissue regeneration.

• Hemostatic Property: Acts as a powerful agent to stop internal bleeding (Raktapitta), making it useful in managing heavy menstrual bleeding, bleeding piles, and epistaxis (nosebleeds).

• Skin Health: Effectively treats chronic non-healing wounds, skin ulcers, and inflammatory skin conditions when used internally or as a dusting powder.

• Anti-obesity: Its “Lekhaniya” (scraping) property helps in reducing excess adipose tissue (fat) and managing high cholesterol.

• Hiccup Relief: Traditionally used in small doses to provide relief from persistent hiccups and respiratory distress.

Precautions

• Kidney Health: Individuals with a history of kidney stones (urolithiasis) or renal impairment should consult a physician, as the resinous nature may be taxing on the kidneys if overused.

• Pregnancy and Lactation: Not recommended for use during pregnancy or breastfeeding unless specifically prescribed by an Ayurvedic expert.

• Constipation: Due to its strong astringent (Kashaya) nature, it can cause dryness in the digestive tract; it is best taken with a lubricant like Ghee or Milk.

• Dosage Control: Typically used in very small doses (250mg to 1 gram). Excessive intake may lead to digestive heaviness or loss of appetite.

• Purity Check: Ensure you are using purified (Shuddha) Laksha, as raw lac contains impurities that can be harmful if ingested.
