Lodhrasava is particularly useful for treating conditions such as:
Menorrhagia (Heavy Menstrual Bleeding)
Leucorrhea (Vaginal Discharge)
Diarrhea & Gut Inflammation
These ailments affect many individuals and can significantly impact their quality of life.
Key Ingredients & Mechanisms
The effectiveness of Lodhrasava is largely due to its powerful ingredients:
Symplocos racemosa (Lodhra)
Bioactive Compound: Tannins (Symplocoside)
Mechanism of Action: Acts as an astringent and uterotonic, helping to reduce endometrial bleeding through vasoconstriction. This effect was demonstrated in a study published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology in 2016.
Bioactive Compound: Ellagitannins
Mechanism of Action: Shows antimicrobial effects, inhibiting the growth of bacteria and fungi linked to leucorrhea, as noted in research published in the journal Ayu in 2018.
Bioactive Compound: Ethanol
Mechanism of Action: Enhances the absorption of tannins and flavonoids, resulting in improved solubility and effectiveness.
Woodfordia fruticosa (Dhataki)
Fermented Alcohol (6–8%)
Clinical Evidence
Multiple clinical studies support the advantages of Lodhrasava:
Menorrhagia Study (International Journal of Green Pharmacy, 2019)
The study reported a 70% reduction in menstrual blood flow after three months of treatment with Lodhrasava. Its efficacy was similar to tranexamic acid, with fewer reported side effects.
Anti-Diarrheal Study (Indian Journal of Pharmacology, 2017)
The findings revealed a 45% decrease in intestinal fluid secretion, attributed to Lodhrasava's impact on opioid receptors in the intestine.
Leucorrhea Trial (Journal of Ayurveda Integrated Medicine, 2020)
Participants reported an outstanding 87% relief in symptoms, primarily due to the antifungal action against Candida albicans.
