Shankhapushpi Churna (50 Gm) - Dhanvantari Herbals
Shankhpushpi powder, derived from the Shankhpushpi plant (botanically known as Convolvulus pluricaulis), is a traditional herbal remedy in Ayurveda with a history of use for enhancing cognitive function, improving memory, and reducing stress and anxiety.
Benefits
- Brain tonic and memory enhancer: Shankhpushpi is considered a medhya rasayana, or a brain tonic, in Ayurveda. It may help improve memory retention, focus, concentration, and learning abilities, potentially by increasing levels of acetylcholine, a key neurotransmitter for memory, and protecting brain cells from oxidative damage. It can be beneficial for students, professionals, and the elderly seeking to sharpen their cognitive abilities.
- Stress and anxiety relief: The powder possesses calming and adaptogenic properties, which may help manage stress, anxiety, and mental fatigue. It may also promote relaxation, potentially by balancing stress hormones like cortisol and increasing serotonin levels, leading to improved mood and reduced restlessness.
- Promotes better sleep: Shankhpushpi's mild sedative effects can help calm the nervous system and improve sleep quality, making it a potential aid for individuals experiencing insomnia or restless sleep.
- Digestive health: It may also help manage digestive issues like constipation, indigestion, acidity, bloating, and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) due to its mild laxative property and calming effect on the gut.
- Skin health: Applying Shankhpushpi powder to the skin may help with acne and wound healing due to its Ropan (healing) property, and its rejuvenating properties (Rasayana) may also help reduce wrinkles and prevent aging, according to 1mg. Applying Shankhpushpi oil on the scalp may help control hair loss and promote hair growth.
How to use Shankhpushpi powder
- For memory and concentration: Mix ½ or 1 teaspoon of Shankhpushpi powder with lukewarm milk and drink it in the morning.
- For relaxation and sleep: Mix ½ to 1 teaspoon with warm milk or honey before bed.
- For wound healing: Boil ½-1 teaspoon of Shankhpushpi powder in 2-4 cups of water until it reduces to 1 cup. Filter the liquid and clean the affected area once or twice a day.
