About

Yogaraj Guggulu is the 'king of formulations' for Vata disorders, a title reflected in its name -- Yogaraj means 'king of combinations' or 'the supreme compound.' This is the most comprehensive anti-Vata Guggulu preparation in the classical pharmacopoeia, bringing together 28 or more herbs that collectively target every manifestation of Vata imbalance: pain, stiffness, dryness, irregularity, spasm, and degeneration. The formula's construction follows a strategic logic. At its core are the universal Ayurvedic foundations: Triphala for balanced elimination and tissue nourishment, Trikatu for digestive fire and bioavailability enhancement.

Indications

Vata disorders of all kinds -- joint pain, muscle stiffness, sciatica, lower back pain, cervical spondylosis, frozen shoulder, osteoarthritis. Abdominal distension and gas. Rheumatic conditions. Gout with Vata predominance.

Key Ingredients

An extensive formula containing 28 or more herbs combined with Shuddha Guggulu.
