Arq-e-Podina

Arq-e-Podina (Mint Water) is a staple classical Unani herbal distillate manufactured by Dawakhana Hakim Ajmal Khan. Extracted through the traditional process of hydro-distillation, this "Arq" captures the cooling and carminative essence of Podina (Mentha viridis).

In Unani medicine, Mint is revered as a powerful Hazim (Digestive) and Mushtahi (Appetizer). Arq-e-Podina is a fast-acting natural remedy for various gastrointestinal disturbances. It effectively settles the stomach, expels intestinal gas, and relieves the sensation of nausea. Its refreshing nature makes it an essential household remedy for maintaining digestive comfort and treating heat-related stomach upsets.

• Enhances Digestion: Stimulates the secretion of gastric juices and enzymes, helping the body break down food more efficiently and preventing indigestion.
• Relieves Gas & Bloating: Acts as a potent carminative (Kasir-e-Riyah) to expel trapped wind and reduce abdominal pressure.
• Stops Nausea & Vomiting: Highly effective in settling the stomach and preventing the urge to vomit, especially during travel or morning sickness.
• Relieves Abdominal Pain: Soothes sharp stomach cramps and griping pain caused by slow digestion or flatulence.
• Improves Appetite: Clears morbid humors from the gut and refreshes the palate, helping to restore a healthy desire for food.
• Combats Diarrhea & Dysentery: Traditionally used to firm the bowels and soothe the intestinal lining during mild digestive infections.
• Refreshing Cooling Effect: Helps manage internal body heat and reduces thirst during the hot summer months.
