Features and benefits of Vettumaran Gulika-
- ‘Ama’ is the metabolic waste that accumulates in the body. It clogs gross and subtle channels in the body. ‘Ama Pachan’ or the process of breaking down and expelling the disease causing toxins is the hallmark property of Vettumaran Gulika.
- Vettumaran Gulika fights chronic infection and inflammation in the body. Active infection is characterised by recurrent fever, malaise and lack of appetite.
- It sloughs off problematic Kapha from the sinuses, nasal tract, throat and lungs.
- It relieves chest congestion and wheezing. Vettumaran Gulika also clears the respiratory tract.
- Kapha aggravation in the body manifests as poor digestion and sluggish metabolism. Vettumaran Gutika rasa restores the ‘Jatharagni’ or digestive fire.

MARICHA (Piper nigrum)
Black pepper is native to Western Ghats of India. It is cultivated for its fruit, which is widely used as a spice and in traditional Indian medicine preparation. Black pepper is an appetizer and carminative commonly used in the treatment of digestive system related complaints like dyspepsia, indigestion, flatulence, nausea, diarrhoea and colic pain. In the respiratory system, it acts as an expectorant used in cough, cold and chest congestion. It is externally used as an analgesic and in vitiligo it stimulates the production of pigments.

Ajamoda is an important drug of Ayurveda, Siddha, and Unani systems of medicine, which consists of umbelliferous fruits. According to Ayurveda, Ajamoda Arka is useful in Agnimandya (loss of appetite), Ajirna (indigestion), Bastiroga (urinary bladder disorder), Vata-Kapha-Roga (diseases due to Vata & Kapha disorders), and Aruchi (anorexia).
SHUNTI (Zingiber officinalae)
Ginger is an essential ingredient in many Asian cuisines, due to its aroma and flavor. Its therapeutic benefits have been recorded in Ayurvedic and Traditional Chinese Medicine. Ginger is a potent anti-nauseatic and is beneficial in treating upset stomach. Gingerol and shogaol, active components of Ginger, suppress gastric contractions.
