Stanyajanana Mahakashaya Tablets are based on the classical Stanyajanana Mahakashaya described by Acharya Charaka.
In Ayurveda, Stanyajanana refers to substances traditionally used to promote or support breast-milk production. The classical group contains ten drugs and is described specifically for this purpose. (Ayurveda Online)
This formulation is intended as Ayurvedic lactation support, particularly where reduced breast-milk production (Stanya Kshaya) is being addressed as part of an overall Ayurvedic approach.
Based on the classical Stanyajanana Mahakashaya:
• Vīraṇa – Vetiveria zizanioides
• Śāli – Oryza sativa
• Ṣaṣṭika – traditional variety of Oryza sativa
• Ikṣuvālikā – traditionally identified with Hygrophila/Asteracantha group
• Darbha – Desmostachya bipinnata
• Kuśa – Desmostachya bipinnata
• Kāśa – Saccharum spontaneum
• Gundra – classical drug; botanical identification varies by source
• Itkaṭa – classical drug; botanical identification varies by source
• Kattr̥ṇa – traditionally identified with Cymbopogon schoenanthus
Important: For Gundra and Itkaṭa, botanical identification varies between modern Ayurvedic references. For the final product label, the botanical names should match your authenticated raw-material/manufacturer specification, rather than being assumed from an online source. (Charaka Samhita Update)
Traditionally associated with:
• Stanyajanana – support for breast-milk production
• Support in Stanya Kshaya (reduced breast milk)
• Traditional nourishment and support during lactation
• Supporting adequate Stanya as part of an Ayurvedic maternal-care programme
A review of Stanyajanana Mahakashaya describes the ten classical drugs as traditionally used for increasing the quantity of breast milk. (IJAPR)
Ayurveda considers Stanya closely connected with Rasa Dhatu and maternal nourishment. Stanyajanana herbs are traditionally selected to support adequate Stanya formation.
The classical group is predominantly associated with Madhura Rasa/Vipaka and nourishing properties, in contrast to the more Tikta-Katu and Ushna profile described for Stanya Shodhana drugs. (Caraka Samhita Online)
Use as directed by a qualified Ayurvedic physician.
Because this formulation is intended for lactating mothers, individual dosage and duration should be selected according to the mother's constitution, digestive capacity, dietary intake and reason for reduced lactation.
Charaka Samhita, Sutra Sthana 4 – Shadvirechanashatashritiya Adhyaya, Stanyajanana Mahakashaya.
Classical Sloka:
वीरणशालिषष्टिकेक्षुवालिकादर्भकुशकाशगुन्द्रेत्कटकत्तृणमूलानीति दशेमानि स्तन्यजननानि भवन्ति।
Meaning:
“The roots of Vīraṇa, Śāli, Ṣaṣṭika, Ikṣuvālikā, Darbha, Kuśa, Kāśa, Gundra, Itkaṭa and Kattr̥ṇa constitute ten drugs classified as Stanyajanana.” (Ayurveda Online)
Research has examined Stanyajanana Mahakashaya and its individual ingredients in relation to lactation and maternal health. A published review discusses the classical ten-drug group and its traditional role in Stanya Kshaya. (IJAPR)
The available evidence should be regarded as supportive research, not as a guarantee that the formulation will increase milk production in every mother.
Primarily intended for adult lactating women who are seeking Ayurvedic support for reduced breast-milk production.
Consult a qualified physician before use, particularly if:
• Milk supply is significantly low
• The baby is not gaining weight adequately
• There is difficulty with breastfeeding or latching
• The mother has an underlying medical condition
• The mother is taking prescription medicines
• Use under qualified Ayurvedic guidance.
• Do not exceed the recommended dosage.
• Keep away from children.
• Stop use if an unexpected reaction occurs.
• Maintain adequate nutrition and hydration during breastfeeding.
• Persistent or significant low milk supply should be evaluated by a qualified healthcare professional or lactation specialist.
Ayurvedic lactation care traditionally places importance on adequate nourishment, rest and appropriate diet in addition to herbal support.
• Eat adequate nutritious meals.
• Maintain sufficient fluid intake.
• Take adequate rest whenever possible.
• Breastfeed frequently and maintain appropriate breast emptying.
• Seek professional breastfeeding support when needed.
Charaka's maternal guidance also discusses nourishing foods, milk and appropriate rest alongside the use of lactation-supportive preparations. (https://www.rkamc.org.in/)
