Gulkand 1kg By The Ayurveda Arkashala

Gulkand is a classical Ayurvedic preserve manufactured by The Ayurveda Arkashala, prepared primarily from fresh petals of the Damask Rose (Rosa damascena).

This formulation is a potent “Rasayana” (rejuvenator) and “Pitta-Shamaka” (Pitta-balancer), making it highly effective for cooling the body and mind.

The Ayurveda Arkashala follows traditional methods where rose petals and sugar are layered and slow-cooked by the sun (Sun-cured), which preserves the essential oils and therapeutic properties of the rose while enhancing its medicinal potency.

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Taruni/Gulab (Rose Petals): Specifically sourced for their high volatile oil content and cooling (Sheeta) properties. Rose petals act as a mild laxative and a heart tonic.

• Prakshepa Dravyas (Optional/Supportive): Depending on the specific batch, traditional Gulkand may include small amounts of Praval Pishti (Coral Calcium) to enhance its cooling effect on the digestive system.

• Sita (Sugar/Rock Sugar): Acts as a natural preservative and a sweetening agent that helps in balancing the heat (Pitta) in the body.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Neutralizes Body Heat: Highly effective in treating conditions associated with excess heat, such as burning sensations in the palms and soles, and excessive thirst.

• Digestive Support: Acts as a natural, mild laxative that helps in clearing the bowels, making it an excellent remedy for constipation and piles (hemorrhoids).

• Relieves Acidity: Helps in balancing stomach acid, providing relief from heartburn, gastritis, and mouth ulcers.

• Skin Health: By purifying the blood and reducing internal heat, it helps in managing acne, boils, and heat-related skin rashes.

• Mental Calmness: The natural aroma and cooling properties of rose help in reducing irritability, mental fatigue, and stress.

Precautions

• Diabetes: Due to the high sugar content, individuals with diabetes should avoid Gulkand or use only a sugar-free variant under medical advice.

• Weight Management: Those on a calorie-restricted diet should monitor their intake, as Gulkand is calorie-dense.

• Digestive Sensitivity: While generally safe, excessive consumption may lead to loose motions in individuals with a very sensitive digestive tract.

• Pregnancy: It is generally safe during pregnancy to manage acidity and constipation, but consult a physician for the correct dosage.
