Native of Natural offers Premium Dried Punarnava Root (Boerhavia diffusa). In Sanskrit, “Punarnava” literally translates to “that which renews or replenishes the body.” It is one of the most celebrated rejuvenating herbs in Ayurveda, specifically renowned for its profound impact on the urinary system, kidneys, and liver.
Our Punarnava roots are harvested at peak maturity and carefully dried to preserve the active alkaloid Punarnavine, which is responsible for the herb’s powerful diuretic and anti-inflammatory properties. It is a cornerstone ingredient for formulations designed to balance the Kapha and Pitta doshas.
