Shothkalanal ras 5gm shri mohata ayurvedic

Shothakalanal Ras is a potent herbo-mineral formulation specifically used in Ayurveda to manage Shotha (generalized or localized edema and inflammation).

This 5g preparation by Shri Mohta Ayurvedic is a “Rasa Aushadhi,” a category of medicine that uses purified minerals to achieve rapid therapeutic effects for conditions involving fluid retention.

Detailed Product Information

In Ayurvedic pathology, Shotha occurs when “Kapha” and “Vata” doshas cause fluids to stagnate in the tissues. Shothakalanal Ras acts as a powerful anti-inflammatory and diuretic.

It is traditionally used when swelling is caused by underlying issues in the liver, spleen, or kidneys, as it helps clear the body’s subtle channels (Srotas) and flushes out metabolic waste.

Because it contains purified mercury and sulphur (Kajjali), it acts as a catalyst, allowing the herbal components to penetrate deeper into the tissues than standard decoctions.

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Shuddha Parada & Shuddha Gandhaka: Purified Mercury and Sulphur processed into Kajjali, which enhances the bioavailability of the other ingredients.

• Lauha Bhasma (Iron Calx): Supports blood health and the liver; particularly useful if the swelling is secondary to anemia.

• Tamra Bhasma (Copper Calx): Known for its “scraping” (Lekhana) action, helping to clear blockages in the lymphatic and circulatory systems.

• Katuki (Picrorhiza kurroa): A bitter herb that stimulates bile flow and supports liver detoxification.

• Vatsanabha (Purified Aconitum ferox): A potent plant-based ingredient that reduces pain and acute inflammation when correctly processed.

• Trikatu (Ginger, Black Pepper, Long Pepper): Improves “Agni” (digestive fire) to prevent the further formation of “Ama” (toxins).

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Edema Management: Effectively reduces water retention in the feet, ankles, face, or abdomen.

• Liver & Spleen Support: Helps decongest the liver and spleen, improving their role in fluid metabolism.

• Anti-Inflammatory: Reduces internal heat and swelling associated with inflammatory conditions.

• Digestive Stimulant: Clears metabolic sludge from the digestive tract, which is often the root cause of chronic swelling.
