Mayphal(Quercus infectoria) churna 250gm manakarnika aushadhalaya

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Majuphal (Quercus infectoria galls): The 250gm pack contains pure ground powder of the galls found on the Oak tree, which are formed as a protective response to certain insects.

• Active Constituents: It contains an exceptionally high concentration of tannins (50% to 70%), gallic acid, and ellagic acid, providing intense astringent and antiseptic properties.

• Ayurvedic Properties: It possesses a Kashaya Rasa (astringent taste), Sheeta Virya (cool potency), and Laghu-Ruksha Guna (light and dry qualities), primarily balancing Kapha and Pitta doshas.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Oral Health Excellence: Widely used to treat bleeding gums, gingivitis, and loose teeth; it helps in tightening the gums and reducing oral infections when used as a tooth powder or gargle.

• Vaginal Health: Traditionally used as a local wash or internally to manage leucorrhea (white discharge) and to help in restoring vaginal tissue tone post-delivery.

• Stops Bleeding: Acts as a potent styptic agent, helping to control bleeding in piles, heavy menstrual flow, and minor external wounds.

• Management of Diarrhea: Effectively treats chronic diarrhea and dysentery by reducing the frequency of bowel movements and firming the stool.

• Skin Tightening: Used in facial masks to reduce large pores, control excessive oiliness, and treat sagging skin due to its “Stambhana” (tightening) effect.

• Sore Throat Relief: Functions as an effective gargle to reduce inflammation in the tonsils and soothe a relaxed or painful throat.

Precautions

• Excessive Dryness: Due to its very high tannin content, overuse can cause extreme dryness of the mouth, throat, or skin.

• Constipation: Internal use should be limited and monitored, as its strong astringent nature can significantly slow down bowel movements.

• Dosage: For internal use, the dose is very small, typically 500mg to 2 grams, usually taken with honey or water. For gargles or washes, 1 teaspoon is often boiled in water.

• Pregnancy: Avoid internal consumption during pregnancy unless specifically prescribed by an Ayurvedic physician.
