Cosmetic Uses
Purifying, draining, astringent, cooling, anti-inflammatory. Butea Superba has proven for me to be a safe, side effect free way of raising low testoterone levels. It has helped restore for me lost physical strength and stamina.

The seeds are purgative, ophthalmic, anthelmintic, rubefacient, depurative and tonic. They are useful in herpes, skin diseases, ringworm, ophtlamopathy, epilepsy, round worm, arthritis, flatulence, constipation and diabeters. The gum known as Bengalkino or Buteakino is astringent, constipating, haemostatic, aphrodisiac, depurative and tonic, and is useful in diarrohoes, haemorrhoids, haemoptysis, haematemesis, diabetes, leprosy, skin diseases, ulcer, pharyngodynia, general debility, hyperacidity, dyspepsia and fever.
