Properties of Shankhpushpi
Convolvulus pluricaulis extract has been used in Ayurvedic medicine for centuries, mainly for its properties supporting nervous system health and mental well-being. It is considered a nootropic to support concentration, memory and thought processes. It exhibits adaptogenic properties, helping the body fight stress and emotional tension. It has a calming effect and can help treat anxiety disorders and insomnia, which is why it is traditionally used as a relaxant in Ayurveda. The bioactive compounds in the plant help neutralize free radicals, supporting cellular health, and its potential anti-inflammatory effects may be beneficial in the treatment of chronic diseases. Convolvulus pluricaulis extract is also used in natural medicine as a means of supporting endocrine health, particularly in the context of reducing cortisol levels. Convolvulus pluricaulis extract can be used in various supplemental forms, such as capsules, tablets and herbal teas. The extract is not recommended for pregnant and breastfeeding women, and those taking psychotropic or sedative medications should consult a doctor before supplementation.
