About Boerhaavia Diffusa Mother Tincture (Q) – Homeopathic Diuretic for Edema, Liver Cirrhosis & Kidney Support

Common Names: English: Red Spiderling, Wine Flower, Spreading Hogweed | Hindi: Punarnava, Gadahpurna | Malayalam: Thazhuthama | Tamil: Mukaratee-Kirei

Boerhaavia Diffusa (Punarnava) Mother Tincture is extracted from the flowering plant Four O’clock. Known for its strong anti-inflammatory, diuretic, anti-oxidant, anti-diabetic, and anti-cancer properties, this remedy supports multiple organ systems. It helps reduce fluid retention, supports liver and kidney health, and protects tissues from oxidative stress. Research shows Punarnava may also help regulate blood sugar and reduce abnormal cell proliferation.

It is indicated in conditions such as asthma, high blood pressure, urinary retention, dropsy (edema), jaundice, liver disorders, anemia, ascites, stomach complaints, and inflammatory conditions. Traditional usage also includes benefit in gonorrhoea, chronic peritonitis, skin conditions, impaired vision (night blindness), and venomous bites. Recent studies highlight Punarnavine’s potential immune-boosting and anti-metastatic effects in animal trials.
