Kantakari (Indian Nightshade / Yellow-Berried Nightshade) – A Traditional Ayurvedic Herb

Kantakari, also known as Indian Nightshade or Yellow-Berried Nightshade, is a powerful medicinal herb and one of the Dashmool (ten root herbs) in Ayurveda. It has a pungent and bitter taste and is known for its wide range of health benefits.

🔹 Respiratory Support :-
Kantakari is especially useful in managing cough, asthma, and other respiratory issues due to its natural expectorant properties. It helps clear mucus from the airways, easing breathing and reducing the risk of asthmatic attacks.

🔹 Improves Digestion :-
According to Ayurveda, consuming Kantakari powder with water or honey enhances Agni (digestive fire) and supports digestion. It acts as a natural appetizer (Deepan) and digestive aid (Pachan).

🔹 Joint Pain Relief :-
Applying a paste made from Kantakari powder and water on joints can help reduce pain and stiffness, thanks to its Vata-balancing properties.

🔹 Hair Care Benefits :-
Massaging the scalp with Kantakari juice mixed with an equal amount of water may help prevent hair fall and promote healthy hair growth.
