Haliv (lepidium sativum) akhand 250gm by manikarnika aushadhalaya

Detailed Ingredient Information

This product contains 100% pure, raw dried seeds of Lepidium sativum:

• Haliv (Lepidium sativum): These tiny reddish-brown seeds are an exceptional source of non-heme iron (containing approximately 100mg of iron per 100g). They are also rich in folic acid, Vitamin A, Vitamin C, Vitamin E, and dietary fiber.

• Active Compounds: Contains glucosinolates and flavonoids that provide antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits.

• Form: Akhand (Whole/Dried). The seeds are mucilaginous, meaning they develop a gelatinous coating when soaked, which is the preferred way to consume them to aid digestion and absorption.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Anemia Management: One of the richest natural sources of iron, it is highly effective in increasing hemoglobin levels and treating iron-deficiency anemia.

• Postnatal Recovery: A renowned galactagogue that helps new mothers increase breast milk production and aids in the recovery of the uterus after childbirth.

• Hormonal Balance: Contains phytoestrogens that help in regularizing menstrual cycles and managing conditions like amenorrhea (absence of periods).

• Bone & Hair Health: High in calcium and protein, it supports bone density and strengthens hair follicles to prevent thinning and hair fall.

• Respiratory Support: Acts as an expectorant, making it useful in treating asthma, chronic cough, and bronchitis by thinning mucus.

• Weight & Digestive Health: The high fiber content provides a feeling of fullness, aiding in weight management, while also acting as a gentle natural laxative.

Precautions

• Pregnancy: Strictly avoid during pregnancy as it has “Ushna” (hot) potency and uterine-stimulating properties that may lead to complications.

• Thyroid Sensitivity: Contains goitrogens that can interfere with iodine absorption; individuals with hypothyroidism should consult a physician before regular use.

• Gastric Irritation: Excessive consumption can cause stomach upset or flatulence. It is best taken in small amounts (1 tsp daily).

• Surgery: Due to its potential effect on blood sugar and clotting, stop use at least 2 weeks before any scheduled surgery.
