PTEROCARPUS MARSUPIUM · THE INDIAN KINO TREE

Vijaysar. The diabetic's tree, kept by tradition.

For centuries, Ayurveda has used Vijaysar—the heartwood of the Indian Kino Tree—to support healthy blood sugar, steady metabolism and balanced Kapha. We bring you its science, traditional uses and authentic formulations from Chakrapani Ayurveda.

About The Herb

Vijaysar — Pterocarpus marsupium

Common names: Bijasar (Hindi), Indian Kino Tree (English), Asana, Bijaka (Sanskrit)

Known across Sanskrit texts as Asana and Bijaka — the “victorious essence” — Vijaysar is one of Ayurveda’s most celebrated anti-diabetic herbs. Its deep red heartwood, used continuously from the Charaka Samhita onward, gives water steeped overnight in a Vijaysar tumbler its characteristic amber colour.
