Your liver works quietly all day. It helps with digestion, processes what you eat and drink, and stores energy. In Ayurveda, the liver (yakrit) is closely linked to Pitta dosha and to healthy agni, the digestive fire. Two humble plants have a long place in classical Ayurvedic texts for supporting this system: Bhumyamalaki (Bhumi Amla) and Punarnava.
This guide explains what they are, how they are traditionally used, the common forms you can buy, and what they cost online at Ayubazar.
What is Bhumi Amla (Bhumyamalaki)?
Bhumyamalaki (Phyllanthus niruri / Phyllanthus amarus) is a small plant that grows wild in fields and gardens across India, especially in the monsoon. Its name means “amla of the ground”, because tiny round fruits hang under its leaves like miniature amla.
In Ayurveda it is described as bitter and astringent in taste and cooling in nature. It is traditionally used to support liver function, digestion and a balanced Pitta. You will often find it in liver-care formulas alongside herbs like Kutki, Bhringraj and Punarnava.
What is Punarnava?
Punarnava (Boerhavia diffusa) is a creeping plant with small pink flowers. Its Sanskrit name means “one that renews the body”. Classical texts describe it as a rasayana, or rejuvenating herb.
Punarnava is traditionally used to support healthy fluid balance in the body, urinary wellness and the liver. It is a key herb in classical formulas such as Punarnavadi Mandur, Punarnavarishta and Punarnavadi Kwath.
Why are they often used together?
Ayurvedic practitioners often pair Bhumi Amla and Punarnava because their traditional roles complement each other. Bhumi Amla is valued for cooling Pitta and supporting the liver. Punarnava is valued for its rejuvenating nature and support for fluid balance. Together they appear in many liver-care syrups and tablets.

How to take Bhumi Amla and Punarnava
Always follow the label on your pack or the advice of your vaidya. General traditional guidance:
- Churna: usually a small amount (often 1–3 g) once or twice a day with lukewarm water, after meals.
- Juice: usually 10–20 ml diluted in a glass of water, often in the morning.
- Arishta: usually 10–20 ml mixed with an equal amount of water after meals.
- Tablets and syrups: as written on the label.
Keep your diet light. Ayurveda suggests fresh home-cooked food, less fried and very spicy food, and plenty of water to support the liver.
Who should be careful?
- Pregnant or breastfeeding women

2. Can I take Bhumi Amla and Punarnava together?
They are often combined in traditional Ayurvedic formulas. Ask your vaidya about the right form and amount for you.
