BENEFITS OF KAUNCH BEEJ

Benefits of Kaunch beej according to Ayurvedic view		Benefits of Kaunch beej according to modern science view
Increasing sexual desire - Kaunch beej is widely used for enhancing sexual power. It also improves the quality and quantity of semen because of its Guru (heavy) and Vrushya (aphrodisiac) properties.		Increasing sexual desire - Kaunch beej works as an aphrodisiac and helps in increasing sexual desire. It helps to improve sperm count and motility. It also helps to increase the production and quantity of semen. Apart from this, Kaunch beej helps reduce physiological stress and improves semen quality. This is due to its antioxidant property. Some studies state that Kaunch beej improves sexual performance by delaying the time of ejaculation.
Parkinson's disease - Kaunch beej powder helps to control the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. A disease condition 'Vepathu' described in Ayurveda may be correlated with Parkinson's disease. It is caused by vitiated Vata. Taking Kaunch beej powder balances Vata and controls the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.		Parkinson's disease - Kaunch beej powder might be beneficial in managing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease. In Parkinson’s disease, there is a decline in the number of dopamine-producing neurons. A drop in the level of dopamine in the brain leads to the symptoms of Parkinson's disease such as tremor, stiffness in movement and imbalance. Kaunch beej has antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. These seeds contain L-dopa which gets converted to dopamine and restores its level in the brain. As a result, this helps in managing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
Arthritis - According to Ayurveda, the bones and joints are considered a site of Vata in the body. Pain in the joints is mainly due to Vata imbalance. Taking Kaunch beej powder helps in balancing Vata, thereby reducing bone and joint pain.		Arthritis - Kaunch beej powder might be beneficial in the management of arthritis. It has anti-inflammatory and analgesic properties. These properties help to reduce pain and swelling in the joints.
Diabetes -In diabetes, weakness is one of the common symptoms and Kaunch beej plays an important role in reducing weakness. This is because of its Balya (strength provider) property. Kaunch beej also helps reduce the risk of diabetes complications.		High levels of prolactin - Prolactin hormone is required to maintain lactation in breastfeeding mothers. Overproduction of prolactin hormone can increase the risk of breast cancer. The presence of L-dopa present in Kaunch beej inhibits the overproduction of prolactin hormone. This helps to prevent the growth of cancer cells. It further induces DNA damage and apoptosis (cell death) in these cells. Thus, Kaunch beej slows down the spread of breast cancer by managing the levels of prolactin hormone.
-		Diabetes - Kaunch beej has a role in diabetes. Kaunch beej (seeds) contain d-chiro-inositol. D-chiro-inositol mimics the action of insulin. This helps in glucose metabolism. Kaunch beej has antioxidant and anti-inflammatory activities. This reduces the risk of diabetes-related complications.
