Jiwanti, botanically known as Leptadenia Reticulata, is traditionally referred to as Jivanti or Yellow Jiwanti across various Indian regions. The roots and stems (Mool & Danda) are primarily used, carefully collected for herbal preparation and formulation purposes, ensuring optimal potency and quality.
According to classical Ayurvedic texts, Jiwanti exhibits Madhura (sweet) and Tikta (bitter) rasa, with Sheeta (cooling) virya, making it beneficial for balancing Pitta and Vata doshas. It is traditionally used for respiratory support, vitality enhancement, blood purification, and strengthening of reproductive and connective tissues.
Jiwanti is commonly incorporated in Churna, Kwath, Avaleha, and classical Ayurvedic formulations, often in combination with other supporting herbs. Traditional knowledge emphasizes controlled processing, proper dosage, and expert guidance to harness its full therapeutic potential.
