Is there a seasonal consideration for lodhra? I read elsewhere that some adaptogens should be paused in summer.

In reply to Karthik Trivedi. Good question. I asked something similar and was told the decoction should be brought to a gentle simmer rather than a rolling boil, specifically to preserve the tannin compounds. High heat apparently degrades the astringent fraction that makes lodhra effective.

Good point about skin. The quality of the herb makes a huge difference in my experience.

For the uterine tonic preparation described, does the water temperature affect the active compounds during the decoction process?

In reply to Ravi Sharma. Same with me, my vaidya just said 'take lodhra' with no context. Reading here about the kashaya and stambhana properties made it obvious why it's the first choice for this kind of issue. Now I actually want to take it instead of forgetting half the time.
