Boerhavia diffusa
Ayurvedic herb whose name means "one that renews the body." Primarily used as a natural diuretic for edema, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections.
Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) is an Ayurvedic herb traditionally used to rejuvenate the body and promote kidney health. Its primary modern applications include natural diuresis for edema, prevention of kidney stones, and anti-inflammatory support, attributed to active compounds such as punarnavoside, boeravinone, liriodendrin, and ursolic acid.
Punarnava exerts diuretic effects primarily through inhibition of renal tubular reabsorption of sodium and chloride, likely mediated by punarnavoside and boeravinone, which increase urine output and electrolyte excretion. The herb also demonstrates anti-inflammatory activity by suppressing cyclooxygenase-2 (COX-2) and nuclear factor-kappa B (NF-κB) pathways, while ursolic acid contributes to hepatoprotection via antioxidant enzyme induction and reduction of lipid peroxidation. Additionally, liriodendrin may inhibit calcium oxalate crystal aggregation, supporting kidney stone prevention.
