200 mL: ₹75 · 450 mL: ₹145

Dashamoolarishta is one of Ayurveda's richest classical Arishtas: the ten Dashamoola roots with Chitrak, Pushkarmool, Lodhra, Giloy, amla, camel thorn, catechu, Vijaysar and Harad, raisins and some forty aromatic and nourishing herbs, fermented with jaggery, honey and Dhataki.

Ayurveda gives it for Vata disorders, weakness, poor digestion, cough and anaemia, and above all as a restorative for mothers after childbirth (Sutika).

Used for

  • Recovery after childbirth (Sutika) — traditional use
  • Weakness & fatigue
  • Vata pains & stiffness
  • Poor appetite & digestion

Why recovery needs support

Childbirth, a long illness or prolonged stress leave the body depleted: blood loss, broken sleep and the demands of feeding drain iron, energy and strength, and aches and poor digestion are common.

Ayurveda describes the post-partum period as one of high Vata and weak Agni. Dashamoola is its classic Vata-calming group, combined here with digestive spices and nourishing herbs to rebuild strength (Balya).

Dashamoolarishta works in 3 ways

  • Vata-calming & Anti-inflammatory (Dashamoola) — The ten Dashamoola roots were analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet in an experimental study, easing Vata pains and stiffness.
  • Digestion (Deepana-Pachana) — Chitrak, Pushkarmool, Trikatu and the aromatic spices kindle Agni and restore appetite.
  • Nourishing Rasayana (Balya) — Raisins, Giloy, amla and the Ashtavarga herbs nourish and strengthen; Giloy is immunomodulatory in experimental studies.

Key ingredients

  • Dashamoola (ten roots) — 48 g. Dashamoola, the 'ten roots' — five tree roots and five small herbs — is Ayurveda's classic Vata-calming, anti-inflammatory group. In an experimental study the combination was analgesic, anti-inflammatory and anti-platelet.
  • Chitrak (Plumbago zeylanica, root) — 240 g. Ayurveda's strongest Agni-kindler, used for indigestion, piles and sluggish metabolism. Its naphthoquinone plumbagin is antioxidant and antibacterial in laboratory studies; the root is irritant and avoided in pregnancy.
  • Pushkarmool (Inula racemosa, root) — 240 g. A Himalayan root Ayurveda uses for breathlessness and chest pain (Shwasa, Hrit-shoola). Its sesquiterpene lactones (alantolactone, isoalantolactone) are anti-inflammatory and anti-allergic in experimental studies.
  • Lodhra (Symplocos racemosa, stem bark) — 192 g. A bark Ayurveda uses for heavy periods, leucorrhoea, loose stools and the skin. Its tannins, flavonoids and loturine alkaloids are astringent, anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial in experimental studies.
  • Giloy (Guduchi) (Tinospora cordifolia, stem) — 192 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.
  • Amalaki (Amla) (Emblica officinalis, fruit) — 154 g. Ayurveda's foremost Rasayana and one of the three Triphala fruits. Rich in vitamin C, emblicanins and other tannins, it is strongly antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, gastroprotective and hepatoprotective in experimental studies.
  • Draksha (Raisins) (Vitis vinifera, dried fruit) — 600 g. Raisins supply natural sugars and grape polyphenols such as resveratrol, which raise the body's antioxidant defences in experimental studies. Ayurveda considers Draksha cooling, nourishing and mildly laxative.
  • Dhataki (Dhai flowers) (Woodfordia fruticosa, flower) — 290 g. The classical starter for Asava-Arishtas. Its flowers carry alcohol-producing yeasts (including Saccharomyces cerevisiae) and an invertase enzyme that splits sugar into fermentable glucose and fructose, raising the alcohol yield.
