Kafkuthar ras 5gm Krishna Gopal Ayurved bhavan

Kafkuthar Ras (also known as Kaph Kuthar Ras) by Krishna Gopal Ayurved Bhavan (Kaleda) is a traditional herbo-mineral medicine formulated specifically to combat diseases caused by an imbalance of the Kapha dosha. It is particularly valued for its “Kuthar” (ax-like) action in “cutting down” or clearing thick phlegm from the respiratory tract.

• Kajjali: A purified base of Shuddha Parad (Mercury) and Shuddha Gandhak (Sulphur).

• Trikatu: A powerful warming blend of Sunthi (Ginger), Maricha (Black Pepper), and Pippali (Long Pepper) to break down mucus.

• Tamra Bhasma (Copper Calx): Known for its “Lekhana” (scraping) quality, it helps scrape away toxins and accumulated Kapha.

• Loha Bhasma (Iron Calx): Provides strength and supports the immune system.

• Processed with: The formulation is often triturated with juices of Kantakari (Solanum surattense) and Dhatura, which act as potent bronchodilators

Therapeutic Benefits

This medicine is a potent expectorant and bronchodilator. Its primary uses include:

• Respiratory Infections: Highly effective for chronic cough, common cold, bronchitis, and congestion.

• Chest Congestion: Helps loosen and expel thick, sticky mucus (phlegm) from the lungs and airways.

• Kapha Fever: Used to treat fevers characterized by a feeling of heaviness in the body, excessive coldness, and mucus production.

• Asthma Support: Aids in managing breathlessness and clearing blocked air passages.

Important Precautions

1. Strict Supervision: This medicine contains heavy metals and must only be taken under the guidance of a qualified Ayurvedic doctor.

2. Avoid in Children & Pregnancy: Generally contraindicated for children, pregnant women, and breastfeeding mothers due to its high mineral potency.

3. Short-term Use: Typically prescribed for a specific duration (15–30 days). Long-term unsupervised use can be harmful.

4. Dietary Rules: Avoid cold water, curd, ice cream, and heavy/oily foods, as these aggravate Kapha and can counteract the medicine.
