Khadirsal(Acacia catechu) akhand 250gm by manikarnika aushadhalaya

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Khadirsal (Acacia catechu heartwood): 100% pure, dried whole pieces of heartwood. It contains high concentrations of catechin, epicatechin, and phlobatannins, which are responsible for its powerful antimicrobial and antioxidant effects.

• Superior Quality: Being the “Sal” (heartwood), it represents the most medicinally active part of the tree, offering a higher density of tannins compared to the outer bark or sapwood.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Dermatological Mastery: Specifically used to manage chronic skin conditions like psoriasis, eczema, acne, and vitiligo by balancing Pitta and Kapha doshas.

• Potent Blood Purifier: Detoxifies the blood (Raktashodhaka) and helps in reducing internal heat that often manifests as skin rashes or inflammations.

• Metabolic Support: Traditionally used in the management of Prameha (diabetes/urinary disorders) to help regulate blood sugar and improve lipid metabolism.

• Oral Health: Its intense astringency makes it a gold standard for treating spongy gums, gingivitis, and recurrent mouth ulcers when used as a decoction.

• Liver & Spleen Tonic: Supports the healthy functioning of the liver and spleen, aiding in the treatment of jaundice and splenomegaly.

Precautions

• Astringent Nature: Because it is highly Kashaya (astringent), it can cause dryness. It is often paired with unctuous herbs (like Ghee) to balance this effect.

• Constipation: Should be used cautiously by those with chronic constipation, as it may further dry out the stool.

• Anemia: Long-term use in high doses may interfere with iron absorption; consult a Vaidya if you have iron-deficiency anemia.

• Pregnancy: Best used under professional supervision during pregnancy and lactation.
