Classical Ayurvedic tablets for the urinary system and Prameha

Thirty-seven ingredients, one classical tablet — Ayurveda's great all-rounder for the urinary system.

500 g: ₹600

Chandraprabha Vati ("the radiance of the moon") is one of the best-known classical tablets: purified Shilajit and Guggulu with iron (Loha) and Makshika bhasmas, sugar, and 33 herbs and salts — camphor, Vacha, Nagarmotha, Kalmegh, Giloy, Devdaru, turmeric, Ativisha, Daruharidra, Chitrak, the Triphala and Trikatu fruits, Vidanga, alkalis and three salts, with Trivrit, Danti, cinnamon, cardamom, bay leaf and Banslochan.

The Sharangadhara Samhita gives it for Prameha (urinary disorders including diabetes), Mutrakrichha (painful urination), Ashmari (stones), weakness and many other complaints.

Used for

Urinary comfort (Mutrakrichha)
Prameha — traditional use
Weakness & low stamina
Backache with urinary trouble

Why the urinary system struggles

Burning or frequent urination, a weak stream and lower-back ache have many causes — infections, stones, an enlarged prostate, high blood sugar — and need a proper diagnosis.

Ayurveda groups many of these under Prameha and Mutrakrichha — disorders of the urinary channels (Mutravaha Srotas) from Kapha and Meda with weak Agni. Shilajit and Guggulu, with bitter and Kapha-clearing herbs, are the classical response.

Chandraprabha works in 3 ways

Rasayana (Shilajit) — Shilajit's fulvic acid and dibenzo-α-pyrones are antioxidant and reduce fatigue in human and animal studies; Chandraprabha lowered blood glucose in an animal study.
Anti-inflammatory (Guggulu) — Guggulu's guggulsterones are anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering in experimental studies, and Giloy and Kalmegh are immunomodulatory.
Digestion & Metabolism (Deepana) — Trikatu, Chitrak, Vidanga and the alkalis kindle Agni and clear Kapha, which Ayurveda sees at the root of Prameha.

Key ingredients

Shilajit — 96 g. A Himalayan rock exudate rich in fulvic acid and dibenzo-α-pyrones. Animal and human studies indicate antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and adaptogenic effects, improved sperm counts and less fatigue; its safety is well documented when purified.
Guggul (Commiphora wightii, resin) — 96 g. The purified resin of the guggul tree, Ayurveda's leading remedy for joints (Amavata, Sandhivata) and obesity. Its guggulsterones are anti-inflammatory and lipid-lowering in experimental and some clinical studies; results in people are mixed.
Loh bhasma (calcined iron) — 24 g. Iron converted by repeated heating and herbal processing into fine iron-oxide (magnetite-type) particles. It is Ayurveda's main haematinic for anaemia (Pandu); in a rat study it showed no signs of toxicity at therapeutic doses.
Swarna makshik bhasma (calcined chalcopyrite) — 3 g. Chalcopyrite (copper–iron sulphide) processed into a fine oxide-rich ash. Ayurveda uses it for anaemia, weakness and Pitta disorders; studies so far characterise its composition and particle size rather than its clinical effects.
Vacha (Bach) (Acorus calamus, rhizome) — 3 g. A pungent rhizome Ayurveda uses for speech, memory and Kapha in the chest. It is anticonvulsant, neuroprotective and antispasmodic in experimental studies; its β-asarone limits long-term use.
Giloy (Guduchi) (Tinospora cordifolia, stem) — 3 g. A Rasayana for chronic fever and immunity. Its polysaccharides, alkaloids and diterpenoids are immunomodulatory, antipyretic and anti-inflammatory in experimental studies. Rare liver injury has been reported, possibly from mis-identified Tinospora species.
Kalmegh (Andrographis paniculata, whole plant) — 3 g. The 'king of bitters'. Its diterpene andrographolide protects liver cells by curbing oxidative stress and inflammation (NF-κB and Nrf2 pathways) and increased bile flow in animal studies — more potently than silymarin. Ayurveda uses it for Kamala and poor appetite.
Triphala. Amla, Harad and Bahera in equal parts — Ayurveda's best-known bowel regulator and Rasayana. Reviews describe laxative, antioxidant, anti-inflammatory and gut-microbiome-modulating effects, mostly from experimental and small clinical studies.
Trikatu (three pungents). Dry ginger, black pepper and long pepper in equal parts. Ayurveda adds it to kindle Agni and clear Ama; research suggests piperine-rich Trikatu also raises the absorption of the other ingredients taken with it.
