🔹 DESCRIPTION

In Ayurveda, wellness is preserved by maintaining balance within the body’s internal systems, especially those responsible for elimination and fluid regulation. Riddhish Herbals Pashanbheda Churna is a classical single-herb formulation prepared from the rhizome of Bergenia ligulata, a plant deeply respected in traditional Ayurvedic and Unani literature.

The name Pashanbheda translates to “that which breaks stones,” symbolising its long-standing association with urinary and renal wellness practices in Ayurveda. Classical texts describe this herb as Mutrala (supportive of natural urine flow) and Shothahara (balancing for internal discomfort), making it an important component of traditional urinary health routines.

In today’s modern lifestyle—characterised by irregular hydration habits, sedentary routines, processed foods and increased stress—supporting the body’s natural elimination pathways becomes essential. Pashanbheda Churna may be incorporated into a mindful wellness regimen to help maintain internal balance and support the body’s natural cleansing mechanisms.

Prepared using carefully cleaned, shade-dried and finely powdered rhizomes, this churna preserves the herb’s natural integrity and traditional qualities. It can be easily integrated into daily routines, usually taken with warm water as advised by an Ayurvedic practitioner.

Ayurveda does not focus on symptom-based management alone but emphasises preventive and promotive health. Pashanbheda Churna aligns with this philosophy by supporting long-term internal harmony rather than offering instant or artificial relief.

This product is suitable for individuals who prefer authentic Ayurvedic raw materials, minimal processing and plant-based wellness solutions as part of their daily lifestyle practices.

🔹 SCIENTIFIC EVIDENCE & REFERENCES

Modern scientific research has explored Bergenia ligulata for its phytochemical profile, including compounds such as bergenin, gallic acid and tannins, which have been studied for their supportive role in maintaining urinary system balance and antioxidant activity [1].

Experimental studies have evaluated extracts of Bergenia ligulata for parameters related to urinary flow and internal detox support, aligning with its traditional Mutrala description in Ayurveda [2].

These observations resonate with classical Ayurvedic texts that describe Pashanbheda as a supportive herb for internal cleansing and urinary wellness when used appropriately along with dietary and lifestyle measures. Individual outcomes may vary depending on constitution (Prakriti) and usage duration.
