Science & Research
A modern Ayurvedic formulation combining five botanicals targeting benign prostatic hyperplasia (BPH) through complementary mechanisms. Varuna bark (Crataeva nurvala) is the principal herb — lupeol demonstrates 5α-reductase inhibition, reducing DHT-mediated prostatic hypertrophy, with clinical studies showing improved IPSS (International Prostate Symptom Score) and uroflow parameters. Gokshura's saponins enhance diuresis and reduce post-void residual volume. Shilajit's fulvic acid supports mitochondrial function in rapidly dividing tissues while its anti-inflammatory action reduces prostatic stromal inflammation. Kanchnar's astringent and lekhana properties address abnormal tissue accumulation. Punarnava provides nephroprotective and anti-edema support, reducing urinary tract congestion.
Clinical Key Functions
- Prostatic stromal anti-inflammatory activity via Shilajit fulvic acid*
- Anti-edema support reducing lower urinary tract congestion*
- Lekhana (scraping) action addressing abnormal tissue accumulation*

Ayurvedic Philosophy
Prostate disorders fall under the Ayurvedic categories of Mutraghata (urinary obstruction) and Vatashtheela (Vata-mediated pelvic mass), where vitiated Apana Vayu creates Avarodha (obstruction) in the Mutravahasrotas (urinary channels). Varuna is the preeminent Ashmari-bhanjana (stone-breaking) and Mutraghata-hara (urinary obstruction-relieving) herb, named after Lord Varuna (deity of water) reflecting its dominion over fluid dynamics. The treatment combines Mutrala (diuretic), Lekhana (scraping), and Vata-anulomana (restoring normal Vata flow) strategies. Shilajit acts as Yogavahi, enhancing all actions, while Kanchnar's Granthi-hara (growth-resolving) property addresses the tissue accumulation aspect. Punarnava's literal meaning — 'one that renews' — reflects its ability to rejuvenate urinary tissues.
