Dashmool Kwath Churna for Vata & Pain Disorders

Dashmool is one of Ayurveda’s most respected formulations, traditionally used to balance Vata dosha, support musculoskeletal health, and promote natural inflammatory balance.
Dashmool consists of ten roots—five Brihat Panchamoola and five Laghu Panchamoola; however, composition may vary slightly across manufacturers depending on the classical reference.

Dashmool Kwath Churna is prepared by coarsely powdering herbal roots, ideal for decoction (Kwath) preparation, delivering deeper tissue penetration and faster relief.
