In Ayurveda, balance and stability are essential for long-term wellness. Riddhish Herbals Kantalo Mayu Akha, prepared from the dried galls of Quercus infectoria, is a traditionally respected herbal raw material known for its strong Kashaya (astringent) properties.

This herb has been described in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani literature for its supportive role in maintaining digestive comfort, internal tissue tone and oral hygiene. Due to its naturally high tannin content, Kantalo Mayu Akha has long been incorporated into classical formulations for both internal and external applications.

In today’s lifestyle—characterised by irregular eating habits, highly processed foods and environmental stress—maintaining digestive balance and internal stability becomes increasingly important. This traditional herb may be used as part of a mindful wellness routine under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.

Kantalo Mayu Akha is also traditionally valued in external herbal preparations for skin conditioning and oral care practices. Its astringent nature makes it suitable for formulations aimed at maintaining skin firmness, gum comfort and overall hygiene.

Prepared as a single-ingredient herbal raw material, this product reflects Ayurveda’s preventive and promotive approach to health—focusing on supporting the body’s natural equilibrium rather than symptomatic management.

🔹 SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE & REFERENCES

Modern scientific research has explored Quercus infectoria for its high tannin content and antioxidant properties. Experimental and laboratory studies have examined its traditional uses related to microbial balance, antioxidant activity and tissue-supportive properties, aligning with its long-standing use in traditional systems.

Some studies suggest that plant tannins may help support normal microbial balance and antioxidant status when used as part of a broader wellness approach. These findings resonate with its classical description as a Kashaya-dominant herb in Ayurveda.

However, individual responses may vary, and Ayurvedic practice emphasises personalised usage based on Prakriti and lifestyle.
