Safoof Istehaza Khas is a specialized classical Unani herbal powder manufactured by Dawakhana Hakim Ajmal Khan. The term "Istehaza" refers to abnormal uterine bleeding (bleeding outside of the regular menstrual cycle or excessive flow), and "Khas" denotes its superior, specialized formulation.
This powder is a potent blend of mineral and botanical astringents (Habis-e-Dam) designed to regulate and stop excessive blood loss. By combining "Dragon’s Blood" (Dam-ul-Akhwain), Pomegranate flower, and Red Ochre, it provides a rapid styptic action. It is the premier natural choice for women suffering from menorrhagia (heavy periods), metrorrhagia (irregular bleeding), and uterine weakness.
⭐ Health Benefits

• Strengthens the Uterus (Muqawwi-e-Reham): Tones the uterine muscles and helps rectify functional weaknesses of the reproductive system.
• Heals Internal Wounds: Ingredients like Anjabar and Gulnar act as natural healing agents for internal erosions or sensitivity in the uterine lining.
