Lodhra Powder (225g) is the finely milled bark of Symplocos racemosa, a small evergreen tree of the Indian foothills long associated with women's wellness. Its Rasa is astringent and bitter, its Virya cooling, its Vipaka pungent. That profile settles Kapha and Pitta while it can lift Vata, so warm Anupana suits Vata types. Ayurveda values Lodhra for supporting a comfortable monthly rhythm, healthy skin and firm, toned tissue.
Ayurvedic Significance
Lodhra is a classical Stambhana and Grahi herb, meaning its astringency draws tissue together and holds fluid within its proper channels. Practitioners direct it to Rakta Dhatu and the Artava Srotas, where its cooling nature settles the heat that unbalanced Pitta brings to the monthly cycle. The same astringent action supports Mamsa Dhatu, giving skin and gums a firm, healthy tone. Because Lodhra is Kaphahara and light to digest, it does not weigh on Agni. It appears in a great many traditional women's formulations for exactly these reasons.
Key Benefits
- Women's Monthly Comfort — A cornerstone of traditional women's formulations, valued for supporting a steady, comfortable monthly rhythm.
- Pitta Balance — Its cooling Virya settles excess heat, which Ayurveda links to ease and evenness through the cycle.
- Healthy, Toned Skin — The astringent bark has long been used in Ayurvedic beauty care to support clear skin and a firm, even complexion.
- Oral and Gum Wellness — Lodhra features in classical tooth powders, where its astringency supports firm, comfortable gums.
- Digestive Steadiness — Grahi in action, it supports well-formed elimination and comfortable digestion.

Formulated according to the traditional principles of Ayurveda.
All Prana Ayurveda herbs are sourced from select wild regions of India, where they naturally develop higher concentrations of active constituents.
Suggested Use
Half to one teaspoon of the powder, once or twice daily. Warm water is the everyday Anupana; honey or rice water suits some constitutions. Take it before food for the best effect. Classical practice pairs Lodhra with Ashoka or Sandalwood in women's regimens, and mixes it with a little water as a paste for external skin care. For dosage and duration suited to your constitution (Prakriti), consult a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.

Additional Information
Lodhra is also written Lodh, Lodha, Lodhraka and Lodhram in different transliterations of the Sanskrit. Regional names include Pathani Lodh in Hindi, Vellilathi in Malayalam and Lodhuga in Telugu. English sources call the tree lodh bark or symplocos bark. The botanical name appears as both Symplocos racemosa and Symplocos paniculata in older texts, though racemosa is the accepted name today.
