Bavachibeej(Psoralea corylifolia) bharad 1kg by manikarnika aushadhalaya

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Pure Psoralea corylifolia (100%): The pack consists only of the dried, coarsely crushed seeds of the Bavachi plant, free from fillers.

• Active Constituents: Rich in psoralen and isopsoralen (furocoumarins), bakuchiol (a natural retinol alternative), essential oils, and flavonoids like bavachalcone.

• Ayurvedic Properties: It possesses a Tikta (Bitter) and Katu (Pungent) taste, Ushna (Hot) potency, and Rooksha (Dry) and Guru (Heavy) qualities. It primarily balances Kapha and Vata doshas.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Skin Pigmentation: The primary use is for Vitiligo and Leucoderma; the psoralen in the seeds helps stimulate melanocytes to produce melanin, especially when combined with controlled sun exposure.

• Management of Psoriasis & Eczema: Its potent anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties help reduce scaling, itching, and redness associated with chronic skin conditions.

• Blood Purification: Acts as a “Raktashodaka,” clearing deep-seated toxins from the blood that manifest as skin eruptions, boils, or rashes.

• Hair & Scalp Health: Often infused into oils to treat dandruff, scalp infections, and premature greying while strengthening the hair follicles.

• Digestive Stimulant: Its “Ushna” (hot) nature kindles the digestive fire (Agni), helping to relieve bloating, indigestion, and intestinal worm infestations.

• Respiratory Support: Used in decoction form to clear excess Kapha from the lungs, providing relief from chronic cough and asthma.

Precautions

• Sun Sensitivity: Since Bavachi contains photosensitizing compounds (psoralens), skin treated with it must be exposed to sunlight very cautiously to avoid severe blistering or burns.

• Gastric Irritation: Due to its hot potency, excessive internal use can lead to hyperacidity, gastritis, or a burning sensation in the stomach.

• Pregnancy & Lactation: It is a high-potency medicinal herb and should never be used during pregnancy or breastfeeding without strict medical supervision.

• Dosage Precision: Internal consumption should be limited to very small quantities (typically 1–3 grams in a decoction) as advised by a Vaidya to prevent toxicity.
