Kanchnar Guggulu Tablets

Kanchanar Guggulu is a classical Ayurvedic formulation extensively used for managing glandular swellings, thyroid imbalances, hormonal disorders, and lymphatic congestion.
It possesses Lekhana (scraping) and Kapha-Pitta balancing properties, making it a potent remedy for conditions like goiter, PCOS, fibroids, and lipomas.
The formulation contains a synergy of herbs such as Kanchanara (Bauhinia variegata), Triphala, Trikatu, Guggulu, Varuna, Ela, and Tejapatra, which collectively detoxify, reduce inflammation, and promote hormonal harmony.
