PURE HERB Velvet/ Patha/ Cissampelos pareira root powder

In the world of Ayurvedic medicine, some herbs are known for their brute force, while others are revered for their subtle, intelligent, and profound action. In this latter category, few are as esteemed as a delicate, climbing vine known as Patha.

Scientifically named Cissampelos pareira, this plant might seem unassuming at first glance. It’s often found weaving its way through hedges and forests. In its native Sri Lanka, it’s known as Diyamiththa (දියමිත්ත). However, for thousands of years, Ayurvedic physicians have turned to the root of this humble vine as a master remedy.

Patha is celebrated for two primary, powerful roles: as a gentle yet thorough detoxifier and as one of the most important herbs for women’s health in the entire Ayurvedic pharmacopeia.

So, let’s explore the ancient wisdom and modern understanding behind Patha and discover why this “gentle vine with a mighty purpose” is a cornerstone of holistic healing.

A Quick Clarification on Names

Before we dive into its benefits, it’s crucial to clear up some common name confusion. This plant is sometimes called “Velvet Leaf” or “False Pareira.” However, “Velvetleaf” is the name of a noxious invasive weed (Abutilon theophrasti), and “Pareira” is more famously associated with another plant entirely. To find accurate information, it’s always best to use its true Ayurvedic and scientific names: Patha and Cissampelos pareira.

The Queen of Women’s Health in Ayurveda

While Patha has benefits for everyone, it holds a particularly sacred space in formulas designed for women’s wellness. Its ability to regulate, cleanse, and soothe makes it an invaluable ally through all stages of life.

1. Supporting a Healthy Menstrual Cycle

Patha is renowned for its ability to bring balance to the female reproductive system. It is traditionally used to:

• Ease Menstrual Pain (Dysmenorrhea): The plant has natural anti-inflammatory and antispasmodic properties, which can help to relax uterine muscles and relieve the painful cramping associated with menstruation.
• Regulate Flow: It is a go-to herb in Ayurveda for managing issues with menstrual flow, whether it’s too heavy (menorrhagia) or irregular. Its astringent qualities help to tone the uterine tissues.
