Baidyanath Punarnavarishta (450ml) | Ayurvedic Tonic for Fluid Balance & Detox

Punarnavarishta is a classical Ayurvedic fermented tonic (arishta) traditionally used to support healthy fluid balance and ease the body's tendency to retain water and swelling. Built around Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), a classic diuretic and rejuvenating herb, it is traditionally valued for supporting comfortable fluid balance, cooling excess heat, and supporting the chest and respiration. It is intended as supportive, traditional care, used under appropriate guidance.

• A classical Punarnava-based fluid-balance tonic
• Traditionally supports comfortable fluid balance and reduces puffiness
• Cooling and cleansing in nature

Punarnavarishta is a fermented herbal tonic built around Punarnava, with cooling and warming supporting herbs.

• Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa): the principal diuretic, rejuvenating herb
• Bala (Sida cordifolia) and Vasa (Adhatoda vasica): traditionally supportive of the chest
• Guduchi (Tinospora) and Chitraka (Plumbago)
• Aromatic spices such as cardamom, black pepper, and tejpatra, with Dhataki for fermentation

As an arishta, it carries these herbs in an easily absorbed, fermented form.

Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) is a classic Ayurvedic herb traditionally valued for its diuretic and rejuvenating action, which is why its name means "renewer". In Punarnavarishta, it is traditionally used to support the body's healthy elimination of excess fluid, helping ease puffiness, water retention, and swelling, while its cooling, cleansing nature supports comfort. The supporting herbs add chest and circulatory support. This is traditional, supportive care for fluid balance, not a treatment for any diagnosed condition such as heart, kidney, or liver disease, which require a doctor.

The suggested use is about 4 spoonfuls (roughly 15 to 20 ml) twice daily, usually after food and often diluted with an equal amount of water, or as directed by your physician or Ayurvedic practitioner. A few pointers:

• Diluting with water is traditional and gentler on the stomach.
• Use it consistently, and stay well hydrated.
• Shake gently before use, as natural sediment can settle.

This bottle contains 450ml. A practitioner can tailor the dose to your needs.

Punarnavarishta is especially used to pacify aggravated Kapha, the dosha Ayurveda links to fluid retention, swelling, heaviness, and congestion, with its cooling herbs also addressing Pitta-related heat and fever. Punarnava and the supporting herbs are traditionally used to clear excess Kapha and fluid and cool the system, while supporting the chest. This makes it well suited to the Kapha-predominant patterns of puffiness, water retention, and congestion, supported by a light, warm, Kapha-pacifying diet.

Traditionally, Punarnava's herbs are used to support fluid balance and the chest, which is why Punarnavarishta is associated with easing puffiness and supporting comfortable breathing. However, persistent swelling (edema) and breathing conditions like asthma can be signs of serious heart, kidney, liver, or respiratory problems that need proper medical diagnosis and treatment. Punarnavarishta should be used only as supportive, traditional care alongside, not instead of, a doctor's care. Seek prompt medical attention for significant swelling or breathing difficulty. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.

Yes, as a traditional arishta it contains a small amount of naturally self-generated alcohol produced during fermentation, which is part of how the preparation works and is preserved. This is not added alcohol but a natural by-product of the classical process. Because of this, those who avoid alcohol entirely, pregnant or breastfeeding women, children, and anyone with a liver condition or in recovery from alcohol use should consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or doctor before use. Taking it diluted with water, in the recommended dose, is the traditional approach.

Choosing a Baidyanath product means you receive an authentic, classically prepared Punarnavarishta from a trusted, long-standing name in Ayurveda. Note that this product is packaged in a plastic bottle.

Punarnavarishta is a traditional fermented tonic, but a few important cautions apply. Because Punarnava has a diuretic action, those on diuretics, blood-pressure, heart, or kidney medication, or with a heart, kidney, or liver condition, should consult their doctor first and not rely on it for these conditions. Because it contains self-generated alcohol and jaggery, those who are pregnant or breastfeeding, managing diabetes, or avoiding alcohol should also seek advice. Take the recommended dose diluted with water. Persistent swelling needs medical assessment. It is not intended to diagnose, treat, cure, or prevent any disease.
