Detailed Ingredient Information

• Primary Ingredient: 100% Pure Pittapapada (Fumaria vaillantii) whole plant powder.

• Phytochemical Profile: Contains active alkaloids such as Protopine, Fumarine, and Fumaric acid, which contribute to its medicinal potency.

• Ayurvedic Properties:

  • Rasa (Taste): Tikta (Bitter).

  • Virya (Potency): Sheeta (Cold).

  • Vipaka (Post-digestive effect): Katu (Pungent).

  • Dosha Action: Specifically balances Pitta and Kapha; slightly increases Vata if used excessively.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Blood Purification (Raktaprasadaka): Flushes out metabolic toxins (Ama) from the bloodstream, making it a primary treatment for acne, eczema, and psoriasis.

• Fever Management (Jwarahara): Highly effective for chronic, low-grade, or intermittent fevers. It is a key ingredient in the famous “Shadanga Paneeya” fever water.

• Hepatoprotective: Supports liver health by promoting bile flow (Pitta Saraka) and assisting in the recovery from jaundice.

• Digestive Tonic: Relieves excessive thirst (Trishna), burning sensations in the body (Daha), and improves appetite in cases of anorexia.

• Anti-Inflammatory: Reduces swelling and redness associated with skin infections or internal heat.

Precautions & Safety

• Pregnancy & Lactation: Strictly avoid unless prescribed by a physician, as there is insufficient safety data for these periods.

• Existing Conditions: Use with caution if you have gallstones, as the herb increases bile flow which could trigger discomfort.

• Side Effects: Overuse may lead to mild gastrointestinal upset (cramps or diarrhea) or a drop in blood pressure due to its cooling and diuretic nature.

• Vata Imbalance: Since it is cold and bitter, those with a dominant Vata constitution should use it under supervision to avoid dryness or constipation.
