Nagkesar Buds, also known as Nagkesara or Mesua ferrea, are aromatic flower buds used widely in Ayurvedic formulations. These small, fragrant buds are known for their astringent, anti-inflammatory, and antioxidant properties. Used in both medicinal and culinary applications, Nagkesar is prized for promoting digestive health, reducing internal bleeding, and enhancing skin tone.
At Farm Ayurveda, we offer naturally harvested Nagkesar Buds free from chemicals and additives. Sourced from forest-rich regions, these potent herbal buds are ideal for health-conscious individuals seeking natural remedies rooted in ancient wisdom.
Nagkesar has a long-standing presence in Ayurvedic and Siddha medicine, where it was traditionally used to treat digestive disorders, bleeding conditions, and skin ailments. It is often mentioned in ancient Ayurvedic texts like Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita. Known as the “Ironwood of India,” it also holds sacred value in traditional Indian rituals and was historically used in royal Ayurvedic formulations.
