DIURETIC

BCB's diuretic effect is directly affected by it's quality ingredient Cyperus rotundus, which has been documented in several studies. The plant contains various bioactive compounds, such as flavonoids, alkaloids, and terpenoids, which contribute to its medicinal properties. These compounds are thought to enhance the kidney’s ability to excrete sodium and water, thereby increasing urine output.
  • Flavonoids and Terpenoids: These compounds are known for their role in promoting diuresis. Flavonoids, in particular, have been studied for their ability to inhibit the reabsorption of sodium and water in the kidneys, which increases urine output.
  • Alkaloids: These natural compounds can influence various physiological processes, including the modulation of kidney function, which can lead to increased urine production.

 

Benefits for Children:

While Cyperus rotundus has been traditionally used for various ailments, its use in children should be approached with caution. Here are some potential benefits and considerations:

 

Managing Edema: In cases where children suffer from conditions that cause water retention or edema, Cyperus rotundus might help in reducing swelling by promoting urine production. However, it’s crucial to use this under medical supervision.


Digestive Health: Cyperus rotundus has been used traditionally to treat digestive issues. It may help alleviate symptoms such as bloating and discomfort, which can sometimes be associated with fluid retention.


Anti-inflammatory Properties: The plant also exhibits anti-inflammatory effects, which can be beneficial in managing mild inflammatory conditions in children. This can be indirectly beneficial by reducing symptoms that might cause fluid retention.
