The Purifying Power of Kanchanar

Breaking down. Drying up. Lightening the load.
This is the work of Kanchanar—the bark of a special tree called Bauhinia variegata.

In Ayurveda, Kanchanar is described as ruksha (drying) and laghu (light). These qualities are especially helpful when the body feels heavy or burdened—when something is bearing down on the tissues and blocking your body’s natural flow.

How Kanchanar Works
Kanchanar is known for its ability to break down and dissipate aggregations in the body—things that have come together and are no longer serving you. It supports the body’s natural purification process by keeping the channels clear, preventing stagnation, and lightening the tissues.

Traditional Uses in Ayurveda

• Supports occasional fat build-up in the arteries

• Helps with swellings around the throat and other areas

• Maintains clean, healthy tissue function in organs like the liver and kidneys

• Assists in maintaining a healthy body weight

The Kanchanar & Guggulu Partnership
At Athreya, we carry the traditional Ayurvedic formula Kanchanar Guggulu. This pairing is well-loved in Ayurveda for its complementary actions:

• Kanchanar breaks down and dissipates

• Guggulu scrapes away buildup and supports deeper tissue cleansing

Together, they create a dynamic formula for purification, helping your body feel lighter, cleaner, and more balanced.

If you’re seeking a natural way to help clear stagnation and keep your internal pathways open, Kanchanar is a friend worth knowing.
