Gokshura Kwatha - Sadvaidya

🌿 Gokshura Kwatha

Sadvaidya's Gokshura Churna (100 g) is crafted from Tribulus terrestris, commonly known as Gokshura.

✅ Therapeutic Benefits

• Urinary & Kidney Support
  Renowned in classical Ayurveda for supporting renal and urinary tract health, Gokshura acts as a diuretic to flush toxins and support bladder function—making it helpful in conditions like urinary tract infections and kidney stones.

• Anti-inflammatory & Detoxifying
  Its anti-inflammatory and antioxidant qualities help soothe the urinary system and aid detox processes, promoting internal cleansing.

• Reproductive & Libido Support
  Widely used as an aphrodisiac, Gokshura may enhance testosterone levels in men and support sexual vitality and reproductive balance in both genders.

• Strength & Adaptation
  While evidence is mixed, anecdotal users often take Gokshura to support muscle strength and physical vitality—though some caution is advised for expectant athletes with normal testosterone levels.

⚖️ Ayurvedic Properties & Usage

• Taste (Rasa): Tikta-Kashaya (bitter-astringent)

• Qualities (Guna): Laghu (light), Snigdha (unctuous)

• Potency (Virya): Sheeta (cooling)

• Post-digestive Effect (Vipaka): Madhura (sweet)—all contribute to balancing Kapha and Vata doshas, while cooling excess heat and inflammation (some sources vary on energetics).

• Typical Dosage: 3–6 g per day, mixed with warm water or milk, taken once or twice daily—ideally after meals. For urinary issues, up to 2 g with meals is often recommended.

⚠️ Safety & Precautions

• Hypoglycemia Risk: Gokshura may help lower blood sugar, so diabetic individuals or athletes should use caution and monitor levels.

• Overuse Concerns: High doses (e.g. 3 g/day or above) have not shown clear additional benefit for muscle gain and may be unnecessary; moderation is advised.

• Hydration Needed: Its mild diuretic action could lead to dehydration if fluid intake is insufficient.

• Professional Use: Consultation with a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner is recommended for long-term or therapeutic use, especially in urinary, hormonal, or renal conditions.
