The botanical name of Lodhra is Symplocos racemosa roxb, and it is a well-known herb used in Ayurvedic medicine. It is a member of the Symplocaceae family. The plant, which may reach heights of 6 metres, is most commonly found in the northeastern hilly regions of the Indian subcontinent (Nagpur, Manipur), Burma, and other tropical and subtropical regions of Asia, Australia, America, and Malaysia. The stem bark is the most important part of the plant and is used to make Ayurvedic and Unani remedies, even though the entire plant, including the leaves, roots, flowers, and all other parts, is highly valuable.

Every month throughout the menstrual cycle, all women have some hormonal or mental issues. The majority of women suffer from hormonal abnormalities all year long, but particularly around that time of the month, whether it be irregular periods, leucorrhea, menstrual pains, or skin problems like acne, pimples, patches, etc. Although though women have conquered the moon and can succeed in any industry, it is still taboo in society to discuss gynaecological issues, therefore some of these issues are frequently ignored and left untreated.

An evergreen tree with tropical origins is called lodhra. Its stem, which ranges in colour from grayish-brown to pale-whitish brown, is irregular, rough, and speckled with white patches and fissures. The majority of plants have simple, elliptic-oblong or elliptic-lanceolate leaves with an attenuate base, narrow apex, and slightly curved margins. On both side curves, it is generally globular, polished, and shiny above the nerve pair. Flowers are white, bisexual, and tiny. It has five lobes and a unique scent. The majority of fruits in nature are drupes, which have a globose, cylindrical shape and a purplish-black colour. The 1-3 embedded seeds often have a woody endocarp, are oblong, and are firm.

Many regions of the world have different names for Lodhra. In English, it is primarily referred to as Lodh tree or Symplocos bark.
