Maha Panchagavya Ghrita is an Ayurvedic formulation primarily applied externally, often integrated into the Panchakarma procedure known as Snehakarma. This formulation is employed in the treatment of various conditions, including epilepsy, fistula, inflammation, piles, liver diseases, anemia, cough, and psychiatric disorders.
Its impact on the three Doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—is noteworthy, as Maha Panchagavya Ghrita possesses properties that help pacify and balance these elemental forces. This balance contributes to its effectiveness in addressing a range of health issues and aligns with Ayurvedic principles of holistic well-being.
