Babchi Seed, also known as Bakuchi, is a powerful medicinal herb widely used in Ayurveda, Traditional Chinese Medicine (TCM), and Unani systems.
These small, brownish-black seeds are obtained from the Psoralea corylifolia plant and are prized for their potent therapeutic properties, particularly in treating skin conditions.
Rich in psoralen, bakuchiol, and other phytochemicals, Babchi seeds are known for their ability to stimulate melanin production, making them a traditional remedy for conditions like vitiligo, leucoderma, psoriasis, and eczema. The seeds are also used in the production of essential oils, powders, and herbal extracts.
