| 1 | Azadirachta indica (neem) | Leaf powders, capsules, and extracts; topical preparations are also sold. | Used in some South Asian traditional systems for skin-related concerns. | More familiar in South Asian and Ayurveda-oriented retail; availability and permitted claims differ elsewhere. | There is no established evidence that neem “purifies” blood. Oral use may be unsafe in pregnancy; neem oil should not be swallowed. |
| 2 | Curcuma longa (turmeric) | Ground rhizome, capsules, and concentrated extracts; some extracts include absorption-enhancing ingredients. | Traditionally used as a culinary spice and in varied traditional preparations. | Widely sold as food and as a supplement; extract strength and labeling standards vary by market. | Not a blood cleanser. Concentrated supplements can interact with medicines; seek medical advice with gallbladder or bile-duct problems. |
| 3 | Smilax species (sarsaparilla) | Root teas, powders, and capsules. | Used in some regional herbal traditions and historical “alterative” preparations. | Found mainly through herbal and specialty supplement channels; species and product composition may differ. | Clinical evidence for blood-purifying effects is lacking. Check the exact species and ingredients, especially in multi-herb products. |
| 4 | Arctium lappa (burdock) | Root tea, dried root, powders, and extracts. | Root is used as food in some cuisines and appears in traditional herbal preparations. | Sold as food or herbal supplements in several markets; availability is often greater in specialty shops. | No reliable evidence supports blood cleansing. People allergic to related plants may react; product quality and correct plant identification matter. |
| 5 | Rubia cordifolia (manjistha) | Root powders, capsules, and multi-ingredient traditional preparations. | Used in Ayurveda-oriented products, often associated with traditional skin-health claims. | More commonly encountered in South Asian and Ayurveda-focused channels than in mainstream pharmacies globally. | High-quality clinical evidence for blood purification is lacking. Consult a clinician before use during pregnancy, breastfeeding, or alongside medicines. |
| 6 | Tinospora cordifolia (guduchi) | Stems or extracts in powders, tablets, and capsules. | Used in Ayurveda; some products are marketed for general wellness or immune support. | Most familiar in South Asian traditional-product markets; import and product rules vary by country. | It is not established as a blood purifier. Liver-injury reports have been associated with some guduchi products; avoid unsupervised use, especially with liver disease. |
| 7 | Phyllanthus emblica (amla) | Dried fruit powder, capsules, extracts, and food products. | Used as food and in traditional preparations; naturally contains vitamin C, though amounts vary by processing. | Widely available in South Asian food and supplement channels; international products vary in standardization. | No proven blood-cleansing effect. Supplements may affect blood sugar or interact with medicines; discuss use with a healthcare professional. |
| 8 | Triphala (a blend of three fruits) | Powder, tablets, capsules, and liquid preparations; recipes and ratios can differ. | A traditional Ayurvedic blend, commonly used in products associated with digestive wellness. | Common in Ayurveda-oriented retail and increasingly sold online; check ingredient lists and local product authorization. | Not a blood purifier. It may cause gastrointestinal effects and could affect medicine absorption; clinical evidence for many marketed claims is limited. |
| 9 | Taraxacum officinale (dandelion) | Leaf or root teas, dried herbs, capsules, and extracts. | Leaves are used as food; different plant parts appear in traditional herbal preparations. | Often sold through herbal shops and supplement retailers in Europe and North America; product status differs by country. | Evidence does not establish blood purification. Use caution with allergies to related plants, bile-duct conditions, or medicines affecting fluid balance. |
| 10 | Silybum marianum (milk thistle) | Standardized seed extracts, capsules, and tablets; the silymarin content may be declared on labels. | Traditionally associated with liver-related use; marketed claims do not establish treatment effectiveness. | Widely sold as a dietary or herbal supplement in many regions, subject to local labeling and regulatory requirements. | It does not “clean” blood or replace liver treatment. Evidence for specific conditions is mixed; possible allergy and medicine interactions should be considered. |
