Description

Introduction

Shotha is any condition associated with swelling and inflammation. The other terms used for shotha are shavyathu or shopha. This condition arises by vitiated vata dosha, this vitiated vata dosha pushes the vitiated rakta, kapha and pitta dosha into circulatory channels. After that vata gets obstructed which leads to the obstruction of pakta, kapha and pitta into the circulatory channels and causes swelling at the site of accumulation. Shothari mandoor is a classical ayurvedic formulation mentioned in bhaijashyaratanavali shotha rogadhikar. This formulation is available in the tablet form. As the name suggests shothari, shoth means swelling, hari means to cure and mandoor refers to cure anemia. So this classical ayurvedic formulation is used to cure various disease conditions that are associated with swelling, inflammation, edema and anemia.

  • Go mutra (cow’s urine): It is used to purify mandoor churna in this formulation. Cow’s urine is considered as spiritual and it is said that its sprinkling purifies the whole environment.

  • Manakanda swarasa (Alocasia indica): Manakanda is a herb with vata and pitta pacifying properties and with vata pacifying properties it prevents the accumulation of rakta, kapha and pitta dosha which in turn prevents inflammation also with pitta pacifying properties it helps in reducing any kind of burning sensation during inflammation.
  • Ardraka swarasa (Zingiber officinale): Kapha is the leading dosha in any type of inflammatory mechanism in our body so adrak (Zingiber officinale) added to this classical ayurvedic formulation helps in pacifying kapha dosha and reduce any dema, inflammation or swelling in the body.
  • Triphala kwath: It includes three herbs that are amalaki (Emblica officinalis), haritaki (Terminalia chebula) and bibhitaki (Terminalia bellirica): It is the best classical ayurvedic combination that is used for its tridosha shaamak properties.
