  • Treats Bronchitis

    Bronchitis is a condition of inflammation of the airways. As per Ayurveda, poor digestion leads to the accumulation of ama in the form of mucus in the lungs. Chavya is rich in deepan (appetizer) and pachan (digestive) properties that helps to reduce ama by expelling excessive mucus from the lungs; hence helping to get rid of bronchitis.

  • Treats diarrhea

    The dried fruit of Chavya has been used for the treatment of diarrhea. According to Ayurveda, aggravated Vata causes diarrhea like aggravated Vata brings fluids in the intestine from various tissues from the body and mixes it with stool. Such a condition leads to diarrhea. Chavya is rich in Vata balancing and deepan ( appetizer) properties that help to cure diarrhea effectively.

  • Treats asthma

    Chavya is found very effective in the treatment of asthma. As per Ayurveda, respiratory diseases arise due to the imbalance of Vata and Kapha dosha. The aggravated Kapha dosha causes the accumulation of mucus in the respiratory tract and leads to breathing difficulties. Chavya's decongestant, a bronchodilator, and expectorant properties aid in the treatment of asthmatic conditions.

  • Treats dysmenorrhea

    Dysmenorrhea is a condition of pain or cramps either before or during the menstruation period. According to Ayurveda, aggravated Vata is the reason behind the development of dysmenorrhea. Chavya is rich in Vata balancing properties that help to get rid of pain or cramps associated with menstruation.

  • Treats Flatulence

    An imbalance of Pitta and Vata dosha leads to low digestive fire and weak digestion that in turn causes flatulence( gas formation) and stomach pain. The mild hot potency of Chavya helps to correct the digestive fire and get rid of flatulence symptoms.

  • Treats fever

    Chavya contains rejuvenating and immunomodulatory properties that help to boost the immune system, giving the body the energy it needs to fight infections caused by bacteria and viruses that cause fevers.

  • Treats constipation

    The laxative property of Chavya helps in promoting bowel movements and prevents constipation.


The roots and fruits of Chavya have been widely used to make Ayurvedic formulations that help to cure various health conditions like fever, asthma, bronchitis, constipation, flatulence, and diarrhea.
