Tag : Saptparni Chhal, Saptparni
Saptparni Chhal, botanically known as Alstonia Scholaris, is widely known as Saptparni Bark or Ditabark in various regions of India. The stem bark (Chhal) is carefully harvested from mature trees, dried, and used as a primary herbal ingredient in Ayurvedic formulations.
According to classical Ayurveda, Saptparni Chhal exhibits Tikta (bitter) and Kashaya (astringent) rasa, with Sheeta (cooling) virya, making it effective for balancing Pitta and Kapha doshas. Traditionally, it is used in decoctions (Kwath), Churna, and lepa preparations for respiratory wellness, digestive support, and general vitality enhancement.
Ayurvedic texts emphasize proper collection, drying, and dosage to retain therapeutic properties. Saptparni Chhal is often combined with other herbs in classical formulations to enhance efficacy and maintain safety.
