SKM Katakakhadiradi Kashayam is a classical Ayurvedic formulation designed to support blood sugar regulation and alleviate complications related to diabetes, especially skin issues and systemic inflammation. The key ingredient Kataka (Strychnos potatorum) is traditionally used for its blood-purifying properties and mild hypoglycemic effects. Khadira (Acacia catechu) offers strong antioxidant and anti-inflammatory benefits, reducing oxidative damage common in diabetes.
Haridra (Curcuma longa) and Daruharidra (Berberis aristata) are well-known in research for their potent anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, and hypoglycemic activities, helping improve insulin sensitivity and reduce inflammation. Amalaki (Emblica officinalis) is rich in vitamin C and polyphenols, supporting antioxidant defenses and metabolic health.
Together, these herbs work synergistically to balance Pitta and Kapha doshas, detoxify the blood, and reduce oxidative stress, which is critical in managing diabetes and its complications. SKM Katakakhadiradi Kashayam should be used under professional Ayurvedic guidance as part of a comprehensive treatment plan.
