English Name: Mustaka (Nut Grass) Fermented Tonic
Description:
Mustakarishta is an Ayurvedic formulation primarily used to support the digestive system and manage conditions such as indigestion, bloating, and loss of appetite. The key ingredient in Mustakarishta is Mustaka (Cyperus rotundus), also known as Nut Grass, which is renowned for its digestive properties. Mustaka is considered a potent herb for stimulating appetite and promoting healthy digestion. It has mild laxative and carminative properties that help relieve constipation, flatulence, and indigestion. Mustakarishta works by stimulating the digestive fire (Agni), enhancing the breakdown and absorption of nutrients from food. This tonic is also known for its ability to detoxify the body and balance the doshas, especially Pitta and Kapha. The formulation is particularly beneficial for individuals suffering from gastrointestinal issues such as bloating, nausea, and low digestive strength. Mustakarishta’s anti-inflammatory and antimicrobial properties help in clearing excess toxins (ama) from the digestive system, improving gut health, and restoring overall digestive balance. Regular use of Mustakarishta can aid in maintaining optimal digestive function, improve appetite, and reduce bloating or abdominal discomfort. It also helps to improve skin tone and reduce symptoms of nausea or upset stomach caused by digestive imbalances
