Broken Bone Flower Whole (Oroxylum Indicum)

Broken Bone Flower Whole (Oroxylum indicum) is the dried blossom of the Oroxylum tree, a revered medicinal plant used for centuries in Ayurvedic, Chinese, and Southeast Asian herbal traditions. Known in Ayurveda as Shyonaka and sometimes referred to as the Broken Bone Tree due to its long, sword-like seed pods, it is valued for its anti-inflammatory, rejuvenating, and restorative properties that support bones, joints, and the respiratory system.

In Ayurvedic medicine, Oroxylum indicum is one of the ten foundational herbs in the classical formula Dashamoola, where it plays a central role in balancing vata and kapha doshas, relieving pain, and promoting tissue repair. The flowers and bark are used to support bone and joint strength, soothe inflammation, and aid recovery from injury or weakness. It is also employed for respiratory health, helping to clear mucus, ease coughs, and calm throat irritation.

In traditional Chinese medicine, the plant is appreciated for its cooling and detoxifying nature, used to reduce swelling, clear heat, and support liver and digestive health.

Modern phytochemical studies have identified compounds such as baicalein, chrysin, and oroxylin A, which demonstrate anti-inflammatory, antioxidant, antimicrobial, and hepatoprotective activity. These active constituents help explain the herb’s wide-ranging benefits for joint comfort, respiratory relief, and cellular protection.

Each batch of Broken Bone Flower Whole (Oroxylum indicum) is carefully harvested and shade-dried to preserve its vibrant petals, mild aroma, and medicinal potency. When steeped or decocted, the flowers produce a lightly bitter, cooling infusion that supports joint recovery, bone strength, and internal balance.
