Vernacular Names & Parts Used

Sitaphal Seeds Powder, botanically identified as Annona Squamosa, is commonly known as Sitaphal Beej, Custard Apple Seeds, Sharifa Seeds, and Sugar Apple Seeds in regional and Ayurvedic references. The fully matured seeds are carefully separated from ripe fruits, cleaned, dried, and finely powdered following traditional processing practices.

Ayurvedic Properties & Common Uses

In Ayurvedic texts, Sitaphal seeds are described as possessing Tikta (bitter) and Kashaya (astringent) rasa with Ushna virya, traditionally associated with Kapha-Vata balancing properties. Classical references mention the use of Sitaphal seeds mainly in external herbal applications, traditionally prepared as Lepa (paste) or incorporated into compound formulations under expert guidance.

Traditional Ayurvedic practice emphasizes controlled processing, precise formulation methods, and practitioner supervision, as the seeds are potent in nature. Sitaphal Seeds Powder is widely used as a raw material in traditional herbal industries, particularly for classical preparations and research-based formulations.
