In the vast world of Ayurveda, some herbs get all the attention—like Ashwagandha and Triphala. But at Kairali – The Ayurvedic Healing Village, we know that true healing often lies in the lesser-known yet deeply powerful herbs. These time-tested botanicals play a vital role in our treatment protocols, offering benefits for detoxification, skin health, digestion, and rejuvenation.
Let’s explore a few of these hidden Ayurvedic gems used at our Ayurvedic retreat in India.
Musta (Cyperus rotundus): The Digestive Stabilizer
Musta is a root herb known for balancing digestion, reducing inflammation, and supporting weight loss. In Ayurveda, it’s used to clear Ama (toxins) from the digestive tract and calm excess Pitta and Kapha. At Kairali Ayurvedic Health Resort, Musta is often included in herbal decoctions and therapies designed for gut health, bloating, and menstrual discomfort.
Manjistha (Rubia cordifolia): The Skin Purifier
Known for its blood-purifying properties, Manjistha is a hero in Ayurveda for promoting healthy, radiant skin. It helps detoxify the liver, remove deep-seated toxins, and improve circulation. At our health retreat in Kerala, this herb is used in internal medicines and external therapies for chronic skin conditions like eczema, acne, and psoriasis.
Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa): The Rejuvenator
Punarnava means “renewed again,” and rightly so. This herb is known for its powerful diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties. It supports kidney function, reduces water retention, and aids in detoxification. At Kairali Ayurvedic Centre Kerala, Punarnava is frequently included in Panchakarma-based detox plans to restore vitality and balance.
Other Rare Botanicals You’ll Encounter
In addition to these, our healing protocols often feature:
- Daruharidra (Berberis aristata) – for liver and skin support
- Guduchi (Tinospora cordifolia) – for immunity and anti-aging
- Bhringaraj (Eclipta alba) – for hair and liver health
These herbs are selected based on your Prakriti (constitution) and the imbalances identified during your personalized Ayurvedic consultation.
