Punarnava In English - #4703
I’ve been reading about Ayurvedic herbs for kidney health and came across Punarnava. The problem is, I’m not sure what Punarnava is called in English. I’ve seen some references to Boerhavia diffusa, but I want to confirm if that’s the correct name for Punarnava in English. Are there other plants that go by the same name, or is Punarnava in English exclusively Boerhavia diffusa? I’m also curious about the benefits of Punarnava in English for people dealing with water retention and swelling. I’ve been struggling with edema for a while now, and someone recommended Punarnava. If I search for Punarnava in English, will I find studies or evidence supporting its use for kidney and liver health? Another thing I’m wondering is how to use Punarnava in English-based remedies. Should it be taken as a powder, capsule, or decoction? Does knowing Punarnava in English help in finding the best quality products online or at health stores? If anyone has used Punarnava, did you notice significant changes in your condition? And is Punarnava in English readily available in Western countries, or do I need to look for it in specialized Ayurvedic shops? I’d also love to hear if there are any side effects associated with using Punarnava in English for extended periods.
