Among the many potent ayurvedic natural wonders that are essential to a holistic approach to health and wellness, Nagkesar, also known as Nag Champa, is one wonderful and well-known herb that Ayurveda has given us. Nagkesar, also known by its botanical name Mesua ferrea, is a member of the Chatrujata group of herbs and is a member of the Guttiferae family.
Most Asian nations have nagkesar trees, which are ornamental evergreen trees. For its therapeutic properties, several sections of Nagkesar are utilised either by themselves or in conjunction with other herbs.

Nagkesar helps to relieve cold and cough symptoms by clearing the lungs of extra mucus. Also, this provides relief from some asthmatic symptoms. Because Nagkesar powder has an antipyretic effect, taking it once or twice day with honey or lukewarm water helps lessen fever by bringing down body temperature. Due to its astringent quality, it also helps treat bleeding piles, dysentery, and stomach irritability.

Ayurveda claims that Nagkesar's Laghu (easy to digest) quality makes it beneficial for enhancing digestion.
Because Nagkesar oil has potent antibacterial and wound-healing properties, applying it topically may help manage skin issues and prevent skin infections. Due to its analgesic and anti-inflammatory qualities, its topical administration also aids in reducing pain and inflammation.
