punarnavashtak kashay 1kg Krishna Gopal Ayurved bhavan

Punarnavashtak Kashay 1kg from Krishna Gopal Ayurved Bhavan (Kaleda) is a traditional Ayurvedic polyherbal decoction powder (Churna for Kashay) formulated to treat conditions related to water retention and inflammatory swelling.

As the name “Ashtak” suggests, it is composed of eight potent herbs, with Punarnava as the lead ingredient, renowned for its “rejuvenating” (Punah-nava) and diuretic properties.

This 250-gram pack is primarily used in Ayurvedic practice to detoxify the liver, improve kidney function, and reduce generalized edema (Shotha).

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa): The primary diuretic herb that helps in reducing swelling and regenerating liver and kidney cells.

• Nimba (Azadirachta indica): Neem bark, which acts as a powerful blood purifier and anti-inflammatory agent.

• Patola (Trichosanthes dioica): Pointed gourd leaves that assist in liver detoxification and improve digestive health.

• Sunthi (Zingiber officinale): Dry ginger, which stimulates the digestive fire (Agni) and helps in the absorption of the other herbs.

• Tikta/Katuki (Picrorhiza kurroa): A bitter tonic that supports gallbladder function and acts as a mild laxative to clear toxins.

• Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia): An immuno-modulator that helps reduce chronic inflammation and protects the body from infections.

• Daruharidra (Berberis aristata): Tree turmeric, specifically included for its ability to treat liver disorders and skin diseases.

• Haritaki (Terminalia chebula): Supports the downward movement of Vata (Anulomana) and ensures regular bowel movements.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Reduces Edema: Highly effective in managing Shotha (swelling) across the body, including the face, hands, and feet.

• Liver and Spleen Health: Used as a supportive treatment for jaundice, fatty liver, and hepatomegaly (enlarged liver).

• Kidney Detoxification: Acts as a natural diuretic to flush out toxins from the urinary tract and manage initial stages of renal impairment.

• Ascites Support: Traditionally used to manage Jalodara (accumulation of fluid in the abdominal cavity).

• Blood Purification: Helps clear skin conditions like itching or rashes that arise from internal impurities or Pitta imbalances.

• Digestive Aid: Relieves abdominal distension, gas, and loss of appetite associated with sluggish liver function.

Precautions

• Preparation Required: This is a coarse powder form; it must be prepared as a fresh decoction (boiled with water and strained) before consumption.

• Dosage: Typically, 10g to 20g of powder is used to prepare the decoction; consult an Ayurvedic physician for the exact quantity suited to your condition.

• Pregnancy and Lactation: Use only under strict medical supervision as the diuretic effect may influence fluid balance.

• Electrolyte Monitoring: If used for a prolonged period, ensure regular health check-ups to monitor electrolyte levels (sodium/potassium).

• Dietary Restrictions: Patients with swelling are generally advised to follow a strict low-salt diet while using this medicine.

Storage Information

• Moisture Protection: Store in a cool, dry place in an airtight container to prevent the herbs from becoming damp and losing their aroma.

• Sunlight: Keep away from direct sunlight to maintain the chemical integrity of the active herbal components.

• Safety: Keep out of the reach of children.
