Varahikand(Dioscorea bulbifera) bharad 100gm by manikarnika aushadhalaya

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Varahikand (Dioscorea bulbifera): The sole ingredient in this 100gm pack. In Ayurveda, it is classified as a “Kanda” (tuber) with Balya (strength-promoting) and Vrishya (aphrodisiac) qualities. It is rich in diosgenin, a plant steroid used in the synthesis of various hormones, and contains essential starch and minerals that support metabolic health.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Rejuvenation & Vitality: Acts as a powerful Rasayana, helping to slow down the aging process and restore physical strength and stamina.

• Hormonal Balance: Traditionally used to support reproductive health and balance hormones in both men and women.

• Skin & Complexion: Known for its “Kanthya” property, it helps improve skin texture and provides a natural glow by purifying the blood.

• Diabetes Management: Used in certain Ayurvedic protocols to help regulate blood sugar levels due to its metabolic-regulating effects.

• Digestive Support: Helps in managing chronic indigestion and provides a soothing effect on the gastrointestinal lining.

• Weight Management: Helps in building healthy muscle mass (Brimhana) while assisting in the regulation of fat metabolism.

Precautions

• Preparation Method: This is a coarse “Bharad” and must be boiled in water to prepare a decoction; it is not meant for direct oral consumption as a dry powder.

• Raw Consumption Warning: Never consume Varahikand in its raw form, as it contains bitter principles (dioscorine) that can be toxic; the boiling process (Kadha) makes it safe for use.

• Pregnancy & Lactation: Consult an Ayurvedic physician before use if you are pregnant or breastfeeding.

• Dosage: Stick to the prescribed quantity (usually 5–10g for decoction), as excessive intake may cause mild digestive discomfort or nausea.
