Nagakeshar Tablet

Nagakeshar Tablet

Nagakeshar Tablet is a classical herbal formulation prepared from Nagakeshar (Mesua ferrea), a renowned Ayurvedic drug valued for its hemostatic, astringent, and pitta-shamaka properties. The formulation is designed to restore physiological balance in bleeding disorders and conditions associated with aggravated pitta and rakta dushti.

Pharmacodynamic Profile

Nagakeshar exhibits potent stambhana (anti-hemorrhagic) and kashaya (astringent) actions, which help arrest abnormal bleeding and improve vascular integrity. It also possesses anti-inflammatory, digestive (deepana-pachana), and mild antimicrobial properties, contributing to systemic balance and tissue healing.

Key Therapeutic Actions

• Hemostatic (controls bleeding)
• Astringent (reduces excessive secretions)
• Pitta-pacifying
• Rakta-shodhaka (supports blood purification)
• Anti-inflammatory
• Digestive support

Therapeutic Indications

Nagakeshar Tablet is indicated in:

• Raktapitta (bleeding disorders such as epistaxis, hemoptysis)
• Bleeding piles (Raktarsha)
• Dysentery and diarrhea with blood or mucus
• Leucorrhoea (due to its astringent effect)
• Gastric irritation and hyperacidity associated with pitta aggravation

Clinical Utility

The tablet helps stabilize capillary fragility, reduce abnormal bleeding tendencies, and promote mucosal healing. Its pitta-balancing nature makes it particularly useful in disorders characterized by heat, inflammation, and bleeding. Additionally, it supports digestive function and helps in restoring normal bowel consistency.

Nagakeshar Tablet is suitable for long-term use under supervision in chronic bleeding conditions and as an adjunct in gynecological and gastrointestinal disorders.
