Medicinal & Wellness Uses

  • Bowel-care tradition: Traditionally used in preparations for loose stools and digestive complaints.
  • Digestive care: Used in traditional digestive preparations alongside other botanicals.

Bark, seed powder and extracts differ. The syrup’s Kurchi entry does not specify the part, so it is not replaced with an assumed bark or seed preparation.

READING THIS GUIDE

The source.
The preparation.

Plant photographs show a botanical source. The root, leaf, fruit, oil or extract on a product label may differ from the part photographed. Mineral photographs show the raw source material, not a processed bhasma or pishti.

Blends and formulation helpers use labelled illustrations. Where a name or identity needs confirmation, the guide says so. Ingredient descriptions are educational; use preparations as directed by a qualified physician.

Source photographs are hosted by Wikimedia Commons and need an internet connection. Open “Sources & photo credit” on a card for the original image and reuse licence.
