Mahua

Mahua / Madhuka

Mahua / Madhuka (महुआ) belongs to Madhuca longifolia (J.Koenig ex L.) J.F.Macbr. The older pharmacopoeial name Madhuca indica is retained as a synonym/legacy identity.

Ayurvedic / Traditional Context

Mahua/Madhuka is a traditional Indian species. Flower-specific Ayurvedic data are not transferred to an unspecified retail batch until the supplied part is confirmed.

Ayurvedic Property Status

Omitted because exact supplied part is unresolved.

Available Form & Purchase Guidance

Current variants are weight-based Natural material. Buyers needing Mahua flower, seed or another exact part should confirm the specification.

• Unsupported disease-treatment and superiority claims are excluded.

Product at a Glance

Identity & Buying Clarity

Kew accepts Madhuca longifolia. PCIM&H uses the older Madhuca indica name for Madhūka and an official flower monograph exists. The legacy title also incorrectly said 'Pongamia', which is a different genus and is removed. Because the live SKU never specified flower/seed/bark, the current batch part remains pending.

Names in Different Languages / Systems

Quality & Storage

Different Mahua parts have very different appearance and uses. Plant-part confirmation is essential before part-specific authentication or claims.

Important Precautions

• Pongamia is not the botanical identity of Mahua and has been removed.
• Do not assume this SKU is flower solely because an API flower monograph exists.
• No immunity, skin, fertility or disease-treatment claim is made.
