Key Health Benefits of Keezhanelli Root

Supports Kidney Health & Detox

Keezhanelli is widely recognized for its effectiveness in dissolving kidney stones and promoting renal detoxification. It is often referred to as the “stone breaker” herb due to its traditional use in clearing urinary blockages and maintaining kidney health.

Promotes Liver Function & Jaundice Relief

In Ayurveda and Siddha practices, Keezhanelli is a go-to herb for hepatitis, jaundice, and other liver disorders. Its hepatoprotective properties help regenerate liver cells, restore enzyme balance, and flush out toxins naturally.

Regulates Blood Sugar Levels

Keezhanelli root helps in stabilizing blood glucose levels, making it a supportive herb for those managing diabetes. Its natural bitterness and anti-inflammatory profile assist in improving pancreatic and liver function.

Improves Eye Health (Via Liver Cleansing)

According to traditional texts, eye issues linked to poor liver health can be alleviated by Keezhanelli. Its detoxifying action indirectly supports clearer vision and healthier eyes.

Restores Digestive Balance

With its Pitta-pacifying and cooling qualities, Keezhanelli root is also beneficial for those suffering from acidity, bloating, or indigestion due to imbalanced digestion.

External Uses of Keezhanelli

Natural Hair Growth & Scalp Care

Infusing the root in herbal oils and applying to the scalp is a traditional method to stimulate hair regrowth, treat dandruff, and combat hair fall. When prepared fresh, the herbal oil becomes even more potent for scalp nourishment.
