Ashta Choornam 25g – Ayurvedic Herbal Powder for Digestion & Joint Health

Product Description:

Ashta Choornam (25g) is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal powder originating from India, renowned for its ability to support digestive health and alleviate various ailments. This potent blend of eight carefully selected herbs, based on the principles outlined in the Ashtanga Hrudaya treatise, offers a holistic approach to wellness.

Key Ingredients and Benefits:

The cornerstone of Ashta Choornam is asafoetida (hing, Ferula asafetida), a powerful herb known for its digestive properties. Its effects are enhanced by seven other Ayurvedic herbs: ginger (Zingiber officinale), black pepper (Piper nigrum), long pepper (Piper longum), celery (Apium graveolens), rock salt, cumin (Cuminum cyminum), and black seed (Nigella sativa). This unique combination contributes to the following benefits:

• Improved Digestion: Ashta Choornam enhances Agni (digestive fire), crucial for optimal nutrient absorption and overall health. A strong Agni is considered paramount in Ayurveda; weakness in Agni is linked to various health issues, including obesity, anorexia, toxin buildup, and imbalances in the three Doshas (Vata, Pitta, Kapha).
• Joint Support: It’s particularly beneficial for individuals experiencing discomfort associated with rheumatoid arthritis and other musculoskeletal conditions stemming from Vata imbalance.
• Anti-inflammatory & Antioxidant Properties: The blend possesses potent anti-inflammatory and antioxidant actions, contributing to overall well-being.
• Balancing Doshas: Ashta Choornam helps balance Vata and Kapha Doshas while mildly increasing Pitta.
• Additional Benefits: Traditionally used in Ayurveda to address anorexia, loss of appetite, bronchitis, gastritis, hemorrhoids (non-bleeding), hypotension, parasites, amebic dysentery, dyspepsia, constipation, heartburn, hiccups, sciatica, intestinal colic, colitis, lumbago, low metabolism, flatulence, digestive disorders, joint pain, and more. It may also help eliminate certain pathogenic bacteria and parasites, reduce tongue coating, clear lung mucus, and eliminate toxins.
