Dashmool Powder is a time-honored classical Ayurvedic formulation comprising the roots of ten medicinal plants (“Dasha” = ten, “Moola” = roots).
Revered for its anti-inflammatory, analgesic, and nervine tonic properties, Dashmool is extensively used in managing Vata-related disorders, musculoskeletal pain, respiratory imbalances, and gynecological conditions.
This combination of five Brihat Panchamoola (larger roots) and five Laghu Panchamoola (smaller roots) makes it a versatile Rasayana for internal and external therapeutic applications.
