Dashamoola is a potent magical mixture made from the dried roots of ten different plants, as its name suggests. Due to its incredible health benefits, Ayurveda has used dashamoola for centuries. It has the attributes that combine to effectively provide cures for a variety of illnesses, particularly those affecting the lungs, muscles, bones, joints, nerves, and other body parts. The term “Dashamoola” is Sanskrit, where “Dasha” refers to the number ten and “moola” to the root.

This amazing herbal remedy is frequently used as an enema because it relieves constipation, anorexia, abdominal lumps, bloating, flatulence, lower back conditions, and inflammation in the pelvic and sacral regions. It is also used for pain disorders and inflammatory diseases like osteoarthritis, rheumatoid arthritis, and gouty arthritis. It is very important because of its amazing expectorant, analgesic nervine, and febrifuge actions because they help the body’s air and space elements, or Vata doshas, flow downward and relieve most nervine disorders linked to weakness, debility, and pain. It is crucial in cases of Parkinson’s disease, sciatica, and tremors. Asthma, hoarseness (hoarse voice), chronic fever, dry coughs, persistent coughs, breathing difficulties, and other respiratory-related health issues have all been successfully treated with dashamula.
