About this formulation

Kankayan Vati (Gulma) is a classical tablet from the Bhaishajya Ratnavali (Gulma Chikitsa). Gulma is the classical term for a feeling of distension or a hard, gas-filled mass in the abdomen caused by obstructed Vata. The tablet contains Hingu, Yavakshara, Ajwain, cumin, Chitraka, ginger and other Deepana-Pachana (digestive) herbs. In Ayurveda it is traditionally used to kindle Agni (digestive fire), to support Anulomana (the natural downward movement of Vata) and to help ease gas and bloating. Any abdominal lump should be examined by a doctor.

Classical reference: Bhaishajya Ratnavali (Gulma Chikitsa Prakarana).
