Trayodashang Guggul

• Trayodashang Guggul (also spelled Trayodashanga Guggulu) is a classical Ayurvedic tablet formulation produced by Dhootapapeshwar, rooted in the Bhaishajya Ratnavali – Vatavyadhi formulations.

• It’s a Balya Guggulkalpa, enriched with Kuttan Sanskar (a traditional processing method) using Goghruta (cow’s ghee) as a medium.
