Vernacular Names & Parts Used

Salparni Leaves Powder, botanically known as Desmodium Gangeticum, is widely recognized as Shalparni, Dirghamuli, and Anshumati. While the plant is a key component of the Dashmool group, the leaves (Patra) are traditionally used in Ayurveda for specific formulations and herbal preparations.

Ayurvedic Properties & Common Uses

According to Ayurvedic texts, Salparni exhibits Madhura and Tikta rasa, Ushna virya, and Madhura vipaka, making it highly effective in pacifying Vata and Kapha doshas. It is traditionally used to support respiratory health, immune modulation, strength recovery, joint comfort, and nerve nourishment.

Salparni leaves powder is commonly incorporated into Churna, Kwath, and rejuvenative formulations, especially where Vata-related weakness, inflammation, or respiratory imbalance is present. Classical usage emphasizes controlled dosage under expert supervision, often administered with warm water or decoction for optimal therapeutic benefit.
