Saptamrit lauh 10gm shri mohata ayurvedic

Saptamrit Lauh is a celebrated Ayurvedic herbo-mineral formulation primarily used for strengthening the eyes and improving vision.

Shri Mohta Ayurvedic provides this in a 10g pack, which is a concentrated quantity of this “Lauh” (iron-based) preparation.

The name “Saptamrit” translates to “Seven Nectars,” referring to the seven key ingredients that work synergistically to balance the Pitta dosha, particularly “Alochaka Pitta,” which governs ocular health.

It is also widely used as a rejuvenative tonic for the nervous system and to treat iron-deficiency anemia.

• Detailed Ingredient Information

  • Lauh Bhasma (Purified Iron Calx): 1 Part – The core mineral component that provides essential iron and acts as a potent rejuvenator for the blood and eyes.

  • Amalaki (Phyllanthus emblica): 1 Part – Rich in Vitamin C and antioxidants, it protects the ocular tissues from oxidative stress.

  • Bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica): 1 Part – Helps in clearing the channels and balancing Kapha and Pitta in the head region.

  • Haritaki (Terminalia chebula): 1 Part – Acts as a mild laxative to clear systemic toxins that may affect vision.

  • Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra): 1 Part – Licorice provides a cooling effect and soothes the optic nerves and stomach lining.

  • Madhu (Honey): Used as a processing agent and carrier (Anupana) to enhance the scraping (Lekhana) property of the medicine.
