Nagkesar Phool, also known as Mesua Ferrea, is a powerful Ayurvedic herb valued for its astringent, anti-inflammatory, and therapeutic properties. It is commonly used in traditional medicine for its ability to support healthy digestion, purify blood, reduce excessive bleeding, and enhance skin health. The dried stamens of the Nagkesar flower are carefully hand-harvested and sun-dried to retain their medicinal strength and floral aroma.
At Farm Ayurveda, our Nagkesar Phool is ethically sourced and processed without chemicals. It is widely used in formulations to manage menstrual discomfort, nosebleeds, hemorrhoids, and urinary issues. Its astringent and cooling qualities also make it ideal for skincare, improving complexion, and soothing irritated skin.
Nagkesar has been recognized in Ayurvedic texts such as Charaka Samhita and Sushruta Samhita for its healing potential. Historically, it was used by Ayurvedic practitioners as a natural remedy for internal bleeding, digestive issues, and beauty treatments. Symbolically associated with purity and strength, Nagkesar was also used in temple offerings and Ayurvedic oils. Originating from the evergreen forests of India and Southeast Asia, it remains a revered herb in both classical and modern herbal medicine.
