CLIMATE & REGION

Apamarga (Achyranthes aspera) is a hardy herb commonly found in dry, arid, and tropical climates across India, Africa, and Southeast Asia. It grows along roadsides, rocky terrain, and waste lands, showcasing its resilience.
Sesame (Tila) thrives in hot and dry climates such as Rajasthan, Gujarat, and Tamil Nadu, and is widely cultivated for oil extraction due to its rich nutrient profile and stability in heat.
This combination of Kshara Dravya and Taila makes the formulation ideal for Vata-Kapha aggravated conditions, especially prevalent in cold, dry regions.
