Bala which means “strength” is a popular herb in Ayurveda. All parts of Bala possess various medicinal properties, especially the root. Bala helps in managing weight by suppressing appetite and decreasing the urge to overeat. It also helps to manage blood glucose levels due to its hypoglycemic property. Bala also protects the liver cells against cell damage caused by free radicals due to its antioxidant and hepatoprotective activity.
