Anurjana Tablet by Devendra Ayurved Ashram

100 Tab: ₹100

Anurjana is an Ayurvedic formula the booklet calls 'Anti Allergic': for Sheetapitta (hives), Kandu (itching), Pama (itchy eruptions), Kushtha (skin disease) and blood and toxin-related (Rakta-Visha) disorders.

Its bitter, cooling herbs — Kutki, Chirayata and Revat chini — work alongside purified sulphur, Swarna gairik and Ras sindoor, processed in Anantmool and Triphala decoctions, which the booklet credits with purifying the blood and balancing all three doshas.

Used for

  • Hives (Sheetapitta)
  • Itching (Kandu)
  • Itchy eruptions (Pama)
  • Allergic skin rashes

Why hives flare

Hives are raised, itchy welts that appear and fade within hours. Mast cells in the skin release histamine and other mediators — after a food, a drug, an infection, heat or stress, and often for no clear reason — and the small vessels leak fluid into the skin.

Ayurveda calls this Sheetapitta: exposure to cold winds and incompatible foods aggravates Kapha and Vata, which mix with Pitta and spread through the blood (Rakta) to the skin, raising itchy, burning wheals. Treatment purifies the blood (Raktashodhana), cools Pitta and clears the trapped toxins (Visha).

Anurjana calms the skin in 3 ways

  • Anti-inflammatory (Shothahara) — Kutki's picroside II and apocynin damp inflammatory signalling in experimental studies, and Triphala is antioxidant and anti-inflammatory.
  • Cooling Blood Purifier (Raktashodhaka) — Chirayata and Anantmool are Ayurveda's classic bitter, cooling blood purifiers; Swarna gairik is the traditional mineral for burning and Sheetapitta.
  • Gut & Liver Support (Anulomana) — Revat chini and Triphala keep the bowels moving, and Kutki and Chirayata are hepatoprotective in experimental studies — clearing the Ama that Ayurveda links to recurrent hives.

Key ingredients

  • Kutki (Katuki) (Picrorhiza kurroa, rhizome) — 50 mg. A Himalayan bitter for the liver and skin. Its picroside II and apocynin (first isolated from this plant) damp inflammatory signalling in experimental studies; Ayurveda uses it for Sheetapitta, fever and Kamala.
  • Chirayata (Swertia chirayita, whole plant) — 50 mg. One of Ayurveda's strongest bitters, for fever, poor appetite and the liver. Its xanthones and secoiridoids (amarogentin, swertiamarin) are hepatoprotective, antipyretic and hypoglycaemic in experimental studies.
  • Revat chini (Himalayan rhubarb) (Rheum emodi, root) — 50 mg. Himalayan rhubarb root: in small doses its tannins are astringent, in larger doses its anthraquinones (emodin, rhein, sennosides) are laxative. Reviews also describe anti-inflammatory and hepatoprotective activity in experimental studies.
  • Anantmool (Indian sarsaparilla) (Hemidesmus indicus, root). Ayurveda's classic Raktashodhaka for skin, urine and fever. Its root carries 2-hydroxy-4-methoxybenzaldehyde and saponins, with anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial and hepatoprotective activity in experimental studies.
  • Triphala. Amla, Harad and Bahera in equal parts — Ayurveda's best-known bowel regulator and Rasayana. Reviews describe laxative, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and gut-microbiome-modulating effects, mostly from experimental and small clinical studies.
  • Gandhak (purified sulphur) — 50 mg. Sulphur purified by melting in ghee and milk. Ayurveda uses it inside and out for itching, eczema and other skin disease and as a mild laxative; topical sulphur is a long-established keratolytic and antimicrobial for skin.
  • Swarna gairik (red ochre) — 100 mg. A purified natural iron-oxide earth (haematite-rich ochre). Ayurveda counts it cooling and uses it for acidity, burning sensations, vomiting and bleeding; modern research on its effects is limited.
  • Pippalimool (Long pepper root) (Piper longum, root) — 100 mg. Long-pepper root, a classical Deepana-Pachana herb that Ayurveda uses to kindle digestion, settle Vata and ease pain. Like the fruit it carries piperine, which stimulates digestive enzymes and is anti-inflammatory in experimental studies.
  • Ras sindoor (purified mercuric sulphide) — 50 mg. Mercury and sulphur sublimed together into red mercuric sulphide, a classical Rasa-shastra catalyst said to potentiate the herbs it is given with. Mercuric sulphide is poorly absorbed, but mercury toxicity has been reported, so dose and duration matter.
