Bauhinia purpurea (Kachnar) flowers are used in traditional medicine, but classical Ayurveda does not specifically mention them for treating depression. Ayurveda mainly uses Kanchanar for conditions like glandular swellings, thyroid disorders, and Kapha-related diseases. However, modern studies suggest the plant has antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and neuroprotective properties, which may indirectly support brain health and help reduce factors associated with depressive symptoms. The flowers contain phytochemicals such as flavonoids, phenolic compounds, alkaloids, saponins, tannins, and glycosides, along with compounds like lupeol, stigmasterol, phytol, and β-tocopherol. These constituents contribute to antioxidant and protective effects on cells.
