Bilvadi Powder

Bilvadi Powder is a classical Ayurvedic formulation widely recognized for its digestive, anti-diarrheal, and gut-strengthening properties. It is primarily composed of Bilva (Aegle marmelos), a revered herb in Ayurveda known for its ability to balance Kapha and Vata doshas, manage loose stools, and promote healthy gut function.
With its astringent and carminative action, Bilvadi Powder is commonly used in the management of diarrhea, dysentery, bloating, and appetite loss, offering both symptom relief and long-term gastrointestinal support.

PHARMACOLOGICAL ACTIONS & MECHANISMS:

• Anti-Diarrheal: Bilva’s astringent action helps firm up loose stools and supports intestinal tone.
• Digestive Stimulant: Enhances enzyme secretion and promotes Agni (digestive fire).
• Carminative: Relieves gas, bloating, and abdominal colic.
• Antimicrobial: Fights pathogens responsible for gut infections, including E. coli and Shigella.
• Anti-Inflammatory: Soothes intestinal mucosa and reduces gut lining irritation.
• Appetite Enhancer: Improves taste perception and overall digestive function.
• Kapha-Regulating: Prevents excess mucus buildup and reduces feelings of heaviness.
