Punarnavadi Mandura Gutika is a traditional Ayurvedic tablet formulation featuring Mandura Bhasma (processed iron) as the principal ingredient, alongside botanicals such as Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa), Trivrt, Sunthi, Marica, Pippali, Vidanga, Devadaru, Haridra, Daru Haridra, Haritaki, Amalaki, and others. This formula is traditionally used to support healthy hemoglobin levels, aid in anemia management, and promote proper liver and digestive function. Several ingredients, including Triphala, Pippali, and Musta, are recognized in Ayurvedic literature for their deepana (digestive stimulant) and pachana (digestive corrective) actions, helping address agni-mandya (digestive weakness). Mandura Bhasma, the key component, has been noted in traditional and clinical sources for its rejuvenating and hematinic properties, especially in supporting iron metabolism and nutrient assimilation. The formulation also aids in clearing Ama (metabolic toxins), reducing bloating, and regulating bowel movements, while rejuvenating body tissues in cases of fatigue, swelling, and nutritional deficiency. As per classical use, this medicine is administered under professional guidance with suitable anupanas like ghee or honey, depending on the individual's constitution and condition.
