NOTES
Gokshura guides the other herbs to the genitourinary system and is a renowned strengthening, lithotropic and sperm-purifying herb that alleviates urinary disorders.
Guggulu acts as a cleaning resin that purifies all accumulations of ama.
Triphala clears ama and detoxifies the bladder and kidneys via the mutravahasrotas (urinary channels).
Trikatu enkindles agni in all the tissues.
Mustaka specifically moves in mutravaha, artavavaha and s'ukravahasrotas and therefore supports gokshura in guiding the formula downwards
It calms an overactive vata and tonifies the depletion this causes.
It soothes an inflammed pitta and heals the membranes that this damages.
It reduces the adhesions and accumulations of kapha by scraping them away and clearing downwards.
Drink with musta decoction or coriander seed cold water infusion
