Naushadar (Ammonium Chloride) | Raw Crystals | 100g

Naushadar — Raw Ammonium Chloride Crystals

Naushadar (نوشادر), known in classical Unani and Ayurvedic medicine as Navsadar or Navsar, is a naturally occurring mineral salt — ammonium chloride (NH₄Cl) — prized for centuries across South Asian and Middle Eastern healing traditions. Our raw, unprocessed Naushadar Katli is sourced in its crystalline block form, free from additives or fillers.

Traditional & Functional Uses

• Expectorant & Respiratory Support: Used in Unani formulations (e.g., Sharbat-e-Unnab) to loosen mucus and ease productive coughs.
• Digestive Aid: Traditionally employed in small doses to stimulate digestive secretions and relieve flatulence.
• Topical Applications: Applied in diluted form in traditional practice for minor skin conditions and as a mild antiseptic wash.
• Culinary & Food Use: Used as a leavening agent (E510) in certain South Asian and Scandinavian baked goods.
• Industrial & Laboratory: Widely used as a flux in soldering, in textile dyeing, and as a nitrogen source in fertilisers.

Clinical & Scientific Evidence

• Expectorant activity: Ammonium chloride is a recognised expectorant in pharmacopoeial literature. It acts by increasing respiratory tract secretions, reducing mucus viscosity. Referenced in the British Pharmacopoeia and Martindale: The Complete Drug Reference.
• Acid-base physiology: NH₄Cl is used clinically as an acidifying agent in metabolic alkalosis management. (Ref: Emmett M. Metabolic Alkalosis. NEJM, 2020.)
• Antimicrobial properties: In vitro studies have demonstrated inhibitory activity of ammonium salts against certain gram-positive bacteria. (Ref: Jennings MC et al., ACS Infect. Dis., 2015.)
• Traditional Unani validation: Naushadar is listed in the National Formulary of Unani Medicine (NFUM), Government of India, as a key ingredient in respiratory and digestive compound formulations.
