R250 per 100g / R2,500 per kg
Pueraria mirifica, locally known in Thailand as "Kwao Krua Kao" (White Kwao Krua), is a leguminous plant native to northern Thailand and Myanmar. For centuries, its tuberous roots have been a staple in traditional Thai folk medicine. It's historically revered as a rejuvenating herb believed to promote youthfulness and vitality in both women and, to a lesser extent, men. The plant was scientifically identified as Pueraria mirifica in 1952.


What Makes Pueraria Mirifica Special?

At the heart of Pueraria Mirifica's unique effects lies its rich concentration of phytoestrogens. These powerful plant-derived compounds mimic the structure and function of estrogen, the primary female hormone, allowing them to interact with the body's hormonal system. Key phytoestrogens found in Pueraria Mirifica include:

  • Miroestrol & Deoxymiroestrol: Considered uniquely potent and highly active.
  • Isoflavones: Such as daidzein, genistin, and puerarin, commonly found in legumes.


Traditional & Potential Modern Uses

Historically used for general well-being and youthfulness, modern applications of Pueraria Mirifica primarily focus on its estrogenic properties, particularly for women's health:

  • Menopausal Symptom Relief: Often sought to help alleviate common menopausal discomforts like hot flashes, night sweats, vaginal dryness, and mood fluctuations by supporting hormonal balance.
  • Vaginal Health Support: May help improve dryness and discomfort often associated with menopause.
  • Skin & Hair Revitalization: Anecdotal reports suggest improvements in skin elasticity, hydration, wrinkle reduction, and promoting healthier, shinier hair and stronger nails.
  • Bone Density Support: Its phytoestrogen content is being explored for its potential role in maintaining bone health, especially in postmenopausal women.
  • Antioxidant Benefits: Contains compounds with natural antioxidant activity, aiding in the body's fight against oxidative stress.

 

Usage Guidance (Dosage & Application)

As with many potent botanicals, a "Start Low, Go Slow" approach is essential when incorporating Pueraria Mirifica into your regimen. Individual responses can vary significantly due to its potent phytoestrogenic effects.
  • General Starting Point (for adults): While there is no universally agreed standard however we recommend starting with 1/4 teaspoon.
  • Consult a Professional: Given its powerful properties, we highly recommend consulting with a qualified healthcare professional before use, especially to determine an appropriate dosage for your specific needs.
