About this product
Nirgundi Leaf Powder is pure Vitex negundo, the herb Ayurveda names Sarvaroganivarini, "the one that cures all diseases". That is a classical honorific rather than a claim, but it tells you how highly nirgundi is regarded. Its main traditional use is muscular and joint comfort, applied externally as well as taken internally.
Key Benefits
- Supports joint and muscular comfort: the primary traditional use
- Traditionally used for swelling and stiffness

How to Use
Internally: ½ teaspoon in warm water, once daily.
As a poultice (the classic use): mix the powder with warm water into a thick paste, apply over the affected joint or muscle, cover with a cloth, and leave 30–45 minutes. This external application is what nirgundi is best known for in Ayurveda.
As nirgundi oil: simmer 2 tablespoons in 100 ml sesame oil on very low heat for 10 minutes, cool, strain. Massage into stiff joints and muscles.
Allow 4–6 weeks for internal use.

Frequently Asked Questions
Internal or external. Which is better?
Both, traditionally. The external poultice is what nirgundi is most known for; internal use supports it.
Nirgundi or parijat for joints?
Parijat is taken internally and is the classic for joint stiffness. Nirgundi works well applied externally over a specific painful area. They are often used together. Our Joint Support blend contains both.
How long before results?
The poultice gives a warming, soothing effect fairly quickly. Internal use takes 4–6 weeks.
Who should avoid it?
Pregnant and nursing women, and anyone on hormonal or anti-inflammatory medication, should consult a doctor first.
