Niranjan Phal (10 Pieces) | Sterculia lychnophora – Natural Cooling & Digestive Wellness Support | Riddhish Herbals

About Niranjan Phal

Niranjan Phal (Sterculia lychnophora) is one of the more distinctive botanicals found in both Ayurvedic and traditional Asian wellness systems. The whole dried fruit — known also as Malva Nut, China Fruit, or Pang Da Hai — is notable for its remarkable behaviour when soaked in water: it expands and releases a soft, gel-forming mucilage. This visible quality has made it a valued ingredient in traditional routines focused on internal cooling, digestive ease, and throat comfort for generations.

At Riddhish Herbals, we supply Niranjan Phal as whole, natural fruits — no processing, no additives, no artificial colours or preservatives. Each pack contains 10 pieces, sized for individual use in the traditional soaking method.

Traditional Ayurvedic Importance

In Ayurvedic understanding, Niranjan Phal is considered primarily a cooling (Shita Virya) botanical with Madhura (sweet) and Kashaya (astringent) Rasa. It is traditionally associated with Pitta pacification — the management of excess internal heat that can manifest as digestive discomfort, dryness, or a burning sensation in the throat or gut. Classical Ayurvedic texts and folk wellness traditions across Gujarat, Maharashtra, and South India have long included this fruit in routines for seasonal heat management and gut regularity.

Its mucilaginous seed content is recognised in traditional systems as a natural demulcent — a substance that creates a soothing, coating effect along digestive and respiratory pathways. This quality aligns with Ayurveda's concept of Snehana (internal oleation and softening), though in this case achieved through plant mucilage rather than ghee or oil.

A comprehensive review published in the Journal of Ethnopharmacology (Onah et al., 2018 — PubMed ID: 30322606) noted that seed preparations of Sterculia lychnophora have been traditionally used across Indian, Chinese, Vietnamese, Thai, and Japanese wellness systems for pharyngitis, digestive discomfort, and respiratory ease. Results observed under review conditions. Individual results may vary. Consult your Ayurvedic physician before use.

Q3. What is Niranjan Phal?

Niranjan Phal is the dried whole fruit of Sterculia lychnophora Hance — a deciduous tree native to Southeast Asia. It is valued in Ayurvedic and Asian traditional wellness systems for its naturally cooling quality and the abundant mucilage it releases when soaked in water. It is also known as Malva Nut, China Fruit, and Pang Da Hai.

Niranjan Phal is also known as: Malva Nut, China Fruit, Pang Da Hai (Chinese), Umasmangu, Massa Phal, Niranjan Fal, Neeranjan Fruit, Niranjana Phala (Sanskrit). In Gujarati: નિરંજન ફળ. In Hindi: निरंजन फल. Botanical name: Sterculia lychnophora Hance.

Store in a cool, dry place away from direct sunlight and moisture. After opening, transfer to an airtight container. Avoid humid environments as the natural mucilage content makes the fruit susceptible to moisture absorption.

Q8. What is the correct soaking method and Anupan?

The classical preparation is to soak 1 whole piece in approximately 200ml of clean water for 6–8 hours or overnight.
