Gokshuradi guggulu detoxifies and supports the kidneys and urinary tract. The detoxicant action of guggulu and gokshura reduces viscosity of fluids, which breaks up stagnation and reduces stones, calculi and gout.
These same qualities, as well the male hormone balancing properties of gokshura have a rejuvenating action on the prostate. Reproductive TonicGokshura is a male tonic generally, improving the health of sperm. It is a reproductive tonic for both sexes, and used for heavy or painful periods. Gokshura is also adaptogenic. Reduces Joint Pain and InflammationThe detoxicant, liquefying actions of these herbs also breaks up stagnation in the joints. This joint detoxifying action combines well with the anti-inflammatory nature of these herbs to reduce osteoarthritis. For rheumatoid arthritis see simhanada guggulu or kaishore guggulu. Improves CirculationGokshuradi guggulu is a superb muscle relaxant. The scraping action of guggulu reduces cholesterol and hyperlipidemia. The liquefying action on the blood reduces high blood pressure and congestive heart disorders.
Gokshuradi guggulu is a tridoshic formula calms vata, soothes pitta and eliminates excess kapha. It is especially useful for Pitta disorders. ContraindicationsAs guggulu has a strong scraping action, it should not be used for more than 3 months at a time. Then wait at least 2 weeks before restarting. Lower the dosage when the condition is less aggravated.

INCREASES![Guna Help]()
Increases These Biocharacteristics (Gunas)
Functional Ayurveda helps you assess imbalances through 20 main biocharacteristics
(gunas).
Aggravating these characteristics weakens your body and causes imbalance.
By knowing which characteristics are habitually imbalanced in your body, you will be able to identify and correct imbalances before you get sick.
Every characteristic has an opposite which balances it (i.e. hot balances cold).
You restore balance by favoring diet and lifestyle choices that increase the opposite characteristic.

Taste is used to sense the most basic properties and effects of food.
Each taste has a specific medicinal effect on your body.
Cravings for food with certain tastes indicate your body is craving specific medicinal results from food.
Taste is experienced on the tongue and represents your body's reaction to foods.
Sweet taste causes physical satisfaction and attraction whereas bitter taste causes discomfort and aversion.
Kapha should use less sweet taste while Vata and Pitta would benefit from using more sweet taste.
One of the first signs of illness is that your taste and appetite for food changes.
The six tastes are sweet, sour, salty, pungent, bitter, and astringent.

The Three Doshas / Body Types
According to the biocharacteristic theory of medicine,
people tend to get sick, over and over again, due to habitual causes and imbalances that are unique to the person.
Your body type summarizes this tendency, showing you the 'type' of conditions and imbalances that frequently challenge your health & wellness.
Using body type, you can also identify remedies likely to improve your strength and resiliency.
Your body type identifies physical and mental characteristics as well as your personal strengths and weaknesses.
The calculation of your body type is based on your medical history.
The 3 functional body types
(doshas),
are Catabolic (Vata), Metabolic (Pitta), and Anabolic (Kapha).
Catabolic individuals tend to break down body mass into energy. They are easily stimulated, hyperactive, underweight and dry.
Metabolic individuals tend to burn or use energy. They tend to be rosy-cheeked, easily irritated, focused, driven, and easily inflamed.
Anabolic individuals tend to store energy as body mass. If they store too much energy, they could gain weight easily and have congestion. Anabolic people tend to be stable and grounded.
