About Shigru Pan Churna (Saragva Pan Churna / Moringa Leaf Powder)

Shigru — known in Gujarat as Saragvo or Shevgo, across India as Sahijan, Munagga, or Drumstick, and botanically as Moringa oleifera — is one of the most versatile daily nutritive herbs in both classical Ayurvedic pharmacology and modern nutritional science. Charaka Samhita describes Shigru as a Laghu (light), Ushna (warming), Katu-Tikta (pungent-bitter) herb with strong Deepana (appetiser) and Pachana (digestive) properties, placing it firmly within the classical tradition of dietary Ayurvedic herbs used to support daily nourishment and digestive wellness. In Gujarat, where the Saragvo (Drumstick) tree is a central part of culinary and wellness traditions, Shigru Pan Churna carries a particular regional authenticity. Riddhish Herbals Shigru Pan Churna (Saragva Pan Churna) is prepared from 100% pure Moringa oleifera leaf — shade-dried to preserve natural colour, aroma, and nutrient integrity — free from fillers, binders, and synthetic preservatives.

Traditional Ayurvedic Importance

Charaka Samhita (Sutra Sthana 27) places Shigru among the Deepaniya (digestive-fire-stimulating) and Pachana (digestive) group of herbs, while Ashtanga Hridayam classifies it as Tridosha Shamaka — capable of supporting balance across all three constitutional forces when used appropriately. Its Ushna (warming) Virya makes it particularly effective for Kapha-related digestive sluggishness, while its broader nutrient density aligns with the classical Brimhana (nourishing) tradition for Vata and general debility. Sushruta Samhita describes Shigru as Shothahara (anti-oedematous) in its traditional external and internal application traditions — a classical property extensively explored in modern phytopharmacological research. The leaf (Parna) is the part specifically recommended in Charaka for daily dietary use — as opposed to the root or bark, which have distinct classical applications and require greater caution. This single-ingredient leaf powder stays within that classical dietary tradition.

Key Features

Research and Scientific References

Moringa oleifera has been among the most studied nutritive herbs in recent phytopharmacological literature. A comprehensive study by Fahey (2005, Trees for Life Journal) reviewed the published evidence for Moringa oleifera's nutritional and traditionally recognised properties, noting the exceptionally broad phytonutrient spectrum of its leaf. A review by Mishra et al. (2011, Journal of Pharmacy Research) documented traditional uses and observed parameters for Moringa across multiple traditional systems. Results observed in study conditions. Individual results may vary. Consult your Ayurvedic physician for personalised guidance on use.

How to Use
