✅ Therapeutic Properties & Benefits

Digestive & Detox

  • Stimulates digestive fire (Agni), helps eliminate ama (undesirable toxins), reduces bloating, indigestion, diarrhea, and worms.

Fever & Infections

  • Acts as an antipyretic and diaphoretic—helps reduce fevers and induce sweating to expel toxins; also exhibits antimicrobial and antiviral activity for respiratory and gut infections.

Respiratory Support

  • Helps clear congestion, balance Kapha, relieve cough, and improve lung function due to ingredients like Pippali and Black Pepper.

Anti-inflammatory & Joint Pain

  • Useful in Aamavata (rheumatoid arthritis), gout, and inflammatory conditions—reduces swelling and joint discomfort by pacifying Vata-Kapha.

Immunity, Fatigue & General Health

  • Boosts overall immunity, improves energy, mental clarity, and is used in chronic debility or recovery phases.
