Katurohini(Picrorhiza kurroa) bharad 250gm by manikarnika aushadhalaya

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Pure Picrorhiza kurroa (100%): The pack contains only the dried, coarsely crushed rhizomes (roots) of the Kutki plant, known for its intense bitterness.

• Active Constituents: Contains significant levels of iridoid glycosides, primarily Picroside I and Picroside II (Kutkin), along with apocynin, which provides powerful antioxidant and anti-inflammatory effects.

• Ayurvedic Properties: Characterized by its Tikta (Bitter) taste, Sheeta (Cooling) potency, and Laghu (Light) and Rooksha (Dry) qualities. It is a premier herb for balancing Pitta and Kapha doshas.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Liver Regeneration & Detox: Acts as a potent hepatoprotective agent; it stimulates bile flow, helps regenerate liver cells, and is highly effective in treating jaundice, fatty liver, and cirrhosis.

• Blood Purification (Rakta-Shodhana): Its cooling bitterness cleanses the blood of “Ama” (toxins), making it a cornerstone treatment for chronic skin conditions like psoriasis, vitiligo, and inflammatory acne.

• Fever Management: Specifically indicated for “Visham-Jwara” (chronic or intermittent fevers) and fevers associated with liver congestion or burning sensations in the body.

• Digestive Cleansing: Functions as a natural “Bhedana” (purgative) that scrapes out deep-seated toxins from the intestinal walls and clears the bowels.

• Immune Modulation: Traditionally used to manage auto-immune inflammatory conditions such as rheumatoid arthritis and certain respiratory allergies.

• Weight Management: Helps in clearing excess Kapha and fat from the system by improving fat metabolism and liver efficiency.

Precautions

• Bowel Sensitivity: Due to its natural purgative (pitta-sarak) properties, it may cause loose stools or diarrhea in individuals with a sensitive digestive tract (Mridu Koshtha).

• Pregnancy & Lactation: This is an extremely potent medicinal herb; it should strictly only be used under the direct supervision of an Ayurvedic physician during pregnancy.

• Vata Aggravation: Excessive or improper use may increase dryness in the body or lead to abdominal cramping due to its “Rooksha” (dry) nature.

• Dosage Precision: Because of its extreme bitterness and potency, very small amounts are required (typically 1–3g in a decoction). Overdose may lead to nausea or vomiting.
