Mayphal(Quercus infectoria) akhand 100gm by manikarnika aushadhalaya

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Mayphal (Quercus infectoria galls): 100% pure, dried whole galls. These are unique pathological outgrowths formed on oak trees, containing the highest natural concentration of Tannic Acid (50-70%), along with gallic acid and ellagic acid.

• Akhand Form: The whole “nut” format ensures that the volatile tannins and phenolic compounds are shielded from the air, preserving the intense astringency that defines this herb’s medicinal value.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Oral Health & Hygiene: Renowned for strengthening loose teeth and stopping bleeding gums (Gingivitis). It is a key ingredient in traditional tooth powders and mouthwashes for oral ulcers and tonsillitis.

• Women’s Health: Widely used in Ayurveda to manage excessive vaginal discharge (Leucorrhea) and as a sitz bath or wash for vaginal tightening and postpartum recovery.

• Styptic Action: Effectively stops external and internal bleeding, making it useful for bleeding piles (hemorrhoids) and minor cuts or wounds.

• Digestive Astringent: Helps in controlling acute diarrhea and dysentery by firming the stool and reducing intestinal inflammation.

• Skin Tightening: Its potent “Sankochana” property is used in topical applications to treat skin sagging, large pores, and to dry out weeping eczema or wet skin eruptions.

Precautions

• Severe Constipation: Due to its extreme astringency and “Stambhana” (binding) nature, it should never be used by individuals suffering from chronic constipation.

• Dryness: Prolonged use can cause excessive dryness in the mouth, throat, or skin; it should be used in moderation and usually for short durations.

• Pregnancy: While often used postpartum, internal use during pregnancy should only occur under the direct supervision of a Vaidya.

• Iron Interaction: High tannin content can interfere with iron absorption; avoid taking it close to meals or iron supplements.
