Kumuda
White Water Lily · White Water Lily (Nymphaea alba)
The Pitta-cooling lily that calms heat, redness, and barrier disruption.
Classical Ayurvedic
Heritage.
A Sheeta virya (cold potency) herb in classical Ayurveda, placed in the Mutra Virajaniya group — herbs that support the body’s natural detoxification and colour pathways. Balances Pitta and Kapha. Referenced in Charaka Samhita (Sutrasthana 4.34).
Evidence-Based
Validation.
Studies have found Kumuda to have anti-inflammatory and antioxidant properties, with measurable free radical scavenging activity. It has been shown to support wound healing, skin conditioning, and barrier repair — with analgesic and antimicrobial activity also recorded.
Purpose-Driven
Formulation.
Physical exertion elevates Pitta — manifesting as heat, redness, sensitivity, and barrier disruption. Kumuda addresses this through dual action: its anti-inflammatory flavonoids and tannins reduce post-exertional skin reactivity, while its conditioning properties support hydration across repeated sweat-cleanse cycles.
