Benefits of Gokshura:
Urolithiasis (kidney stone)
The production of stones in the bladder or urinary tract is known as Urolithiasis. Mutrashmari is the name mentioned in Ayurveda. Mutrashmari (renal calculi) is a condition that happens when the Vata and Kapha Doshas are out of balance. This Dosha imbalance produces Sanga (obstruction) in the Mutravaha Srotas (urinary system) and causes micturition issues (the process of urination). Gokshuradi Guggulu’s Mutral (diuretic) property aids in the management of urolithiasis by increasing urine flow and reducing the production of stones. It also increases urine output, which aids in the simple removal of existing stones via urine.
Dysuria (painful urination)
Dysuria is a sign of a urinary tract infection in which urinating becomes painful or difficult. This illness can be caused by an imbalance of the three Doshas, according to Ayurveda (Vata, Pitta, or Kapha). Due to its Tridosha (Vata, Pitta, and Kapha) balancing capacity and Mutrala (diuretic) qualities, Gokshuradi Guggulu improves urine production and so gives relief from uncomfortable urination.
Gouty Arthritis
Gouty Arthritis is a type of arthritis that affects both men and women. A build-up of uric acid crystals in the joints causes gouty arthritis, which is inflammatory arthritis. Severe bouts of pain, swelling, redness, and tenderness can be diagnosed in one or more joints. When taken on a regular basis, Gokshuradi Guggulu can assist in alleviating gout symptoms. Gout is called Vatarakta in Ayurveda. This is due to the fact that the main Dosha involved in this disease is Vata, and the ailment’s effect is on Rakta (blood). Gokshuradi Guggulu assists the body to remove excess uric acid.
