Kaishor Guggulu Vati for Detoxification, Pitta-Kapha Balancing & Chronic Inflammatory Conditions

Kaishor Guggulu is a widely used Ayurvedic classical formulation traditionally indicated for supporting the body’s natural detoxification pathways, healthy metabolism, and balanced inflammatory responses. It combines Guggulu with herbs like Guduchi, Triphala, Trikatu, and others (composition may vary as per classical reference/manufacturer).

This formulation is valued by practitioners for its ability to address deep-seated metabolic impurities (Ama), especially those involving Pitta and Rakta Dhatu, while providing systemic support to joints, skin, and lymphatic circulation.
