Lukonil Capsule by Devendra Ayurved Ashram

30 Cap: ₹90 · 100 Cap: ₹400

Lukonil is an Ayurvedic formula for Pradara — white (Shweta) and red (Rakta) discharge — built on astringent herbs (oak gall, areca nut, Lodhra, Mochras, Nagkeshar and sal resin) and calcium- and iron-rich mineral preparations: eggshell, coral and cowrie bhasmas, Swarna gairik and Loh bhasma.

The booklet says it strengthens the uterus and eases the backache, lower-abdominal pain, mild headache, giddiness, burning palms and soles and anaemia that can accompany discharge. It can be taken with Dee Compound.

Used for

  • White discharge (Shweta pradara) — traditional use
  • Backache & lower-abdominal heaviness
  • Weakness & low iron

Why discharge drags you down

Some vaginal discharge is normal. When it becomes heavy, persistent, coloured or smelly, it is usually an infection (such as bacterial vaginosis, thrush or trichomonas) or cervical inflammation — and it often comes with backache, lower-abdominal heaviness and fatigue.

Ayurveda calls this Shweta pradara: Kapha, aggravated by weak digestion, flows from the reproductive channels, draining Rasa and Rakta and leaving weakness. The classical approach dries and checks the discharge with astringents (Stambhana) and rebuilds strength with minerals and Rasayanas.

Lukonil works in 3 ways

  • Astringent (Stambhana) — Oak gall is among the richest natural sources of gallotannins, and Lodhra and Mochras tannins tighten tissue — astringent and antimicrobial in experimental studies.
  • Calcium & Iron (Balya) — Calcined eggshell, coral and cowrie supply calcium carbonate, and Loh bhasma supplies iron for the anaemia that heavy discharge or bleeding can bring.
  • Uterine Support (Garbhashaya-balya) — Nagkeshar and Lodhra are Ayurveda's classical herbs for uterine weakness and bleeding; modern clinical evidence is limited.

Key ingredients

  • Majuphal (Oak gall) (Quercus infectoria, gall) — 50 mg. Oak galls, among the richest natural sources of gallotannins. Traditional medicine uses them for diarrhoea and bleeding and, externally, for the gums and vaginal tone; reviews describe antimicrobial, antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activity.
  • Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa, stem bark) — 35 mg. A bark Ayurveda uses for heavy periods, leucorrhoea, loose stools and the skin. Its tannins, flavonoids and loturine alkaloids are astringent, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial in experimental studies.
  • Mochras (Semal gum) (Bombax ceiba, gum) — 30 mg. The astringent gum of the silk-cotton tree, used in Ayurveda for diarrhoea, dysentery and bleeding. Its tannins and mucilage bind and soothe; the gum reduced gastric acidity and ulceration in a rat study, though clinical research is lacking.
  • Nagkesar (Mesua ferrea, stamen) — 50 mg. Fragrant stamens Ayurveda uses for bleeding piles and heavy periods (Raktastambhana). They are rich in coumarins and xanthones; laboratory studies report antimicrobial and antioxidant activity, and a subacute rat study of the flower extract found no toxicity.
  • Kukkutand twak bhasma (calcined eggshell) — 100 mg. Calcined hen's eggshell, a natural calcium carbonate also carrying traces of strontium. Eggshell calcium was at least as well absorbed as purified calcium carbonate in animal studies and supported bone density in small clinical studies.
  • Praval pishti (coral powder) — 40 mg. Red coral ground fine with rose water. It is almost pure calcium carbonate; Ayurveda counts it a cooling Pitta-shamaka for acidity, burning, bleeding and calcium needs. Research on it is mainly physicochemical.
  • Loh bhasma (calcined iron) — 20 mg. Iron converted by repeated heating and herbal processing into fine iron-oxide (magnetite-type) particles. It is Ayurveda's main haematinic for anaemia (Pandu); in a rat study it showed no signs of toxicity at therapeutic doses.
  • Supari (Areca nut) (Areca catechu, seed) — 50 mg. Areca nut is strongly astringent and is used in small amounts in Ayurveda for discharges and to tone tissue. Its alkaloid arecoline is the main active and toxic principle; heavy, long-term use is linked to oral disease.
