Benefits of Dasamula Arishtam

Product Highlight Vaidya Vishwanath

By Vaidya Vishwanath January 25, 2023

Dasamula Arishtam is a liquid herbal formula that supports strength and vitality and helps reduce pain and inflammation. The word dasa means ten and mula means root, so it is an herbal formula containing ten roots.

Arishtams are fermented herbal formulas made with sugar. The sugar self-generates a small amount of naturally occurring alcohol. The sugar helps the herbs taste better, and the small amount of alcohol helps the herbs absorb faster. Ayurveda processes many classical formulas as Arishtams.

Dasamula is a collection of ten roots. Five of the roots are from large trees known as the brihat panchamula which pacifies vata conditions. The other five roots are from smaller shrubs known as the laghu panchamula and they pacify both vata and pitta conditions.

Ten herbal roots by their Sanskrit name.

Bilwa
Kashmari
Patala
Shyonaka
Prushniparni

Dasamula helps our bodies and minds feel strong and vital and supports all types of weakness related to vata conditions. It is greatly beneficial for women during postpartum as it supports health by rebuilding strength and reducing pain and inflammation.

Dasamula is especially useful for supporting muscles, bones and ligaments by reducing inflammation. It is also useful for supporting immunity and helping to increase appetite and digestion. It balances vata and kapha dosha and supports conditions related to respiratory mucus and neurological weakness causing head, neck and back pain.

Ayurveda uses the word hrudaya which has the same meaning as the English word for the heart. The word hrudaya indicates the function of this vital organ, hru means to collect blood forcibly and ‘da’ means to donate. The body’s first two dhatus (body tissues) are rasa (plasma) and rakta (blood) which are circulated throughout the body. Thus, the word hrudaya means the dual action of forcibly collecting and circulating the blood throughout the body.

The Ayurvedic name for the prostrate is Asashteela which translates as “a small stone used to sharpen swords”. When the gland is affected by excess vata, it causes a condition known in Ayurveda as vathaashteela. As we age, the vata dosha naturally increases in the body and becomes increasingly dominate starting at around age 50.

Vrikka is the word that Ayurveda uses for the kidneys which are formed by rakta (blood) and medha dhatu (fat tissue) combined. Vrikka is said to be the source or root for medovaha srotas (fat tissue channel). Apana vayu (downward moving vata) is responsible for regulating kidney function and helping to eliminate urine and stool in the downward direction.
