Indications & Uses

  • Bleeding piles (Raktārśa): Stops rectal bleeding, often within 1–3 days of regular use.

  • Chronic constipation (Vibandha): Helps soften stools and promotes smoother bowel movements.

Key Ingredients

  • Nimbaphala (Neem seed): Azadirachta indica – 24 g. Contains nimbin and azadirachtin, which calm inflammation and fight microbes.
  • Mahānimba (Bakain seed): Melia azedarach – 24 g. Acts as an astringent and anti-inflammatory agent.
  • Khūnakharābā (Dragon’s-blood resin): Daemonorops draco – 24 g. Seals small cuts by forming a thin protein layer, reducing bleeding.

How the Ingredients Work

The ingredients in Arśoghnī Vatī work synergistically to provide a three-part effect:

  • Hemostatic action: The astringent properties and berberine from Berberis aristata help promote blood clotting.
  • Anti-inflammatory effect: Neem compounds and cooling amber powder soothe swollen tissue and reduce pain.
  • Digestive support: The powder helps soften stools, reducing strain on hemorrhoids.

Additional Benefits

Bitter herbs like neem and Berberis are believed to boost liver activity and aid waste elimination. Laboratory studies indicate neem increases antioxidant enzymes, while berberine improves gut-microbe balance, supporting rectal lining healing.
