Kaucha Paka - Classical Vajikaraṇa–Rasayana Formulation

Kaucha Paka is a potent Ayurvedic avaleha (paka) formulation traditionally indicated for Dhātuvṛddhi (tissue nourishment), Virya-vardhana, Bala–Puṣṭi, and Vata-dominant degenerative and respiratory conditions. Anchored around Kaucha Bija (Mucuna pruriens) and fortified with ghṛta, kṣīra, madhura dravyas, uṣṇa–tīkṣṇa deepana herbs, and selected rasa-aushadhis, this formulation is primarily used in Kṣaya, Vāta-roga, Kṣīṇa-vīrya, Meda vikāra, and general debility.
