• Pitta: Use cautiously; suitable when Pitta is associated with Ama

• Early or borderline Prameha with urinary symptoms

• Chronic joint pain with urinary weakness

Contraindications / Caution

Practitioner Tips

• Gokshuradi Guggul works best when urinary symptoms are rooted in metabolic or Vata-Kapha pathology. Always assess Agni, Koshta, and hydration status before deciding dose and anupana. Avoid combining with multiple Ushna formulations in Pitta-prone patients.
