Devdar Bharad (Cedrus deodara) 1kg by manikarnika aushadhalaya

Manikarnika Aushadhalaya’s Devdar Bharad (Cedrus deodara) is a 100g pack of coarsely crushed heartwood of the Himalayan Cedar tree, known in Ayurveda as the “Wood of the Gods.”

This “Bharad” form is specifically processed to facilitate the extraction of its dense essential oils and resins through boiling, as the hard, aromatic wood requires sustained heat to release its potent anti-inflammatory and anti-microbial properties into a decoction (Kwath).

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Devdar Heartwood (Cedrus deodara): 100% pure, dried, and coarsely crushed heartwood (100g per pack).

• Chemical Constituents: Rich in sesquiterpenoids (such as himachalol and allohimachalol), deodarin, and taxifolin, which provide its characteristic woody aroma and therapeutic strength.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Respiratory Relief: Acts as a powerful expectorant and “Kapha-Vata” pacifier, making it highly effective for chronic cough, asthma, bronchitis, and sinusitis.

• Anti-Inflammatory & Analgesic: A primary herb for treating joint pain, rheumatoid arthritis, and osteoarthritis by reducing internal swelling and stiffness.

• Skin Health: Purifies the blood and possesses strong antifungal properties, helping to manage chronic skin diseases, itching, and fungal infections.

• Digestive & Metabolic Support: Useful in treating indigestion, bloating, and obesity (Medoroga) due to its “Lekhana” (scraping) property which helps dissolve excess fat.

• Neurological Tonic: Traditionally used to calm the nervous system and manage conditions like headaches, insomnia, and nerve-related tremors.

Precautions

• Professional Guidance: Due to its heating nature (Ushna Virya), it should be used under the supervision of an Ayurvedic physician, especially for those with high Pitta (body heat).

• Pregnancy & Lactation: Consult a healthcare provider before use, as its potent volatile oils may not be suitable during pregnancy.

• Dosage Regulation: Stick to the recommended 3–5g per decoction; excessive intake may lead to mild gastric irritation or a sensation of increased body heat.

• Specific Contraindications: Avoid use during acute inflammatory stages of gastritis or when suffering from severe dehydration.
