Overview
Mahayograj Guggul Vati - Vata Disorders & Systemic Rejuvenation
Mahayograj Guggul Vati is one of the most comprehensive and potent classical Ayurvedic formulations, traditionally indicated for Vata-dominant disorders, chronic metabolic imbalance, neuromuscular conditions, and systemic degeneration. Enriched with Deepana–Pachana herbs, Rasayana drugs, Shodhita Guggulu, and classical Bhasmas, this formulation works at the level of Agni, Dhatu metabolism, Srotas cleansing, and Ojas support.
