Which herb is listed as supportive for prameha?

• A. Neem
• B. Shilajit
• C. Aloe Vera
• D. Ginseng

Answer: (A)

Prameha refers to urinary disorders, especially those linked with metabolic imbalance like madhumeha (diabetes). Neem is considered supportive for prameha because it acts as a strong purifier of the urinary tract and blood, thanks to its bitter, antimicrobial compounds. By helping clear toxins (ama) and reducing inflammation in the urinary system, neem supports the body’s effort to normalize urine flow and metabolic processes that underlie prameha. Its reputed effects on balancing metabolic health align with managing the sugar-excess and urinary symptoms seen in madhumeha, making it the most fitting choice among the options. Shilajit is mainly a rejuvenator, aloe vera is commonly used for digestive and skin issues, and ginseng is not traditionally used in this context, so neem fits best for prameha.
