Kaunch beej powder might be beneficial in managing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease.
In Parkinson’s disease, there is a decline in the number of dopamine-producing neurons. A drop in the level of dopamine in the brain leads to the symptoms of Parkinson's disease such as tremor, stiffness in movement and imbalance. Kaunch beej has antioxidant and neuroprotective effects. These seeds contain L-dopa which gets converted to dopamine and restores its level in the brain. As a result, this helps in managing the symptoms of Parkinson’s disease[1][2].

Prolactin hormone is required to maintain lactation in breastfeeding mothers. Overproduction of prolactin hormone can increase the risk of breast cancer. The presence of L-dopa present in Kaunch beej inhibits the overproduction of prolactin hormone. This helps to prevent the growth of cancer cells. It further induces DNA damage and apoptosis (cell death) in these cells. Thus, Kaunch beej slows down the spread of breast cancer by managing the levels of prolactin hormone[2][3].

Lastly, Kaunch beej also has a role in activating androgen receptors. This ensures that DHT is utilized more efficiently. Together, it helps improve the growth of beard[7-10].

Kaunch beej might help improve the level of testosterone due to the presence of L-dopa. L-DOPA stimulates secretion of gonadotropin-releasing hormone (GnRH), which ultimately activates the pituitary gland to secrete FSH (follicle stimulating hormone) and LH (luteinizing hormone). This increase in the level of FSH and LH increases synthesis of testosterone by Leydig cells of the testis[11][12].
