Key Health Benefits
1. Hormonal Balance & Women’s Health
Poongar is traditionally recommended for women across different life stages.
Puberty & Menstruation: It helps regulate hormonal cycles and eases menstrual cramps.
Pregnancy: It is often given to expectant mothers to improve hemoglobin levels and provide strength.
Lactation: It is a known galactagogue, meaning it helps increase breast milk production for nursing mothers.

5. High Mineral Profile
It contains Molybdenum, a trace mineral that helps activate enzymes that break down toxins and prevent the buildup of sulfites in the body.
