Detailed Ingredient Information

• Vekhand/Vacha (Acorus Calamus): 100% pure rhizome powder, rich in essential oils like asaronald, which contribute to its distinct medicinal aroma and therapeutic potency.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Cognitive Enhancement: Traditionally used to improve memory, focus, and intelligence (Medhya Rasayana).

• Speech Support: Renowned for managing speech disorders, stuttering, and hoarseness by clearing the vocal cords.

• Respiratory Relief: Acts as a powerful expectorant to clear phlegm from the lungs and sinuses, making it helpful for chronic bronchitis and asthma.

• Nervous System Tonic: Helps soothe the mind and is often used in traditional practices to manage symptoms of anxiety and epilepsy (under strict supervision).

• Digestive Stimulant: Relieves flatulence, abdominal pain, and intestinal worms by stimulating the digestive fire.

Precautions

• External vs. Internal Use: In many regions, Vekhand is primarily recommended for external application (like “Ubtan” or Lepa) or nasal administration (Nasya); internal consumption must only be done under the direct supervision of an Ayurvedic physician.

• Toxicity: High doses or prolonged internal use can be emetic (induce vomiting) and may have neurotoxic effects due to beta-asarone content.

• Pregnancy & Nursing: Strictly avoid during pregnancy and breastfeeding.

• Children: Use extreme caution and professional guidance when considering for children’s speech issues.

• Dosage: If prescribed internally, the dosage is extremely small, typically ranging from 60mg to 125mg per day.
