Overview
Talishadi Churna - Agni–Prana–Annavaha Srotas Balance
Talishadi Churna is a well-established Ayurvedic polyherbal formulation primarily indicated for digestive disturbances, respiratory disorders, and Agnimandya-related systemic conditions. It works by correcting Ama, strengthening Jatharagni, supporting Pranavaha Srotas, and regulating Kapha–Vata imbalance.
While classical texts describe multiple reference ratios, the core therapeutic intent remains constant—Deepana–Pachana, Kapha-Nissarana, Vatanulomana, and Pranavaha Srotoshodhana.
Common Name: Talisadi, Taleesadi, Taalishadi, Talisadyo, Talishadya, Talisadi Churan, Talishady Churna, Taleesathi Churna, Tallisadi Choorna, Thalishadi Churna
