According to Ayurveda

Punarnavadi Guggulu - A combination of many Ayurvedic herbs with Guggulu, is traditionally praised in Ayurveda for reducing excess Kapha (Water) + Vata (Air) and Pita (Agni/Fire) Doshas (Humour) in the system. That is, it balances all the three doshas (humours) Vata, Pita and Kapha. Due to imbalance in any of the above said doshas (Humours), in the interstitial spaces–(Spaces between the skin and the tissues), there is accumulation of fluid/water, abnormal swelling or puffiness. This swelling or inflammation or water retention is known as edema or dropsy. This fluid/water accumulation and swelling of the tissues requires removal of toxins from the body. Punarnavadi Guggulu helps in eliminating these toxins and balancing the three doshas (Humour) i.e. Vata (Air) , Pita (Fire/Agni) and Kapha (Water). Punarnavadi Guggulu lends immunomodulatory effect to the body. According to the traditional belief, Punarnavadi Guggulu possesses demulcent properties and therefore works to reduce swelling. It improves fluid circulation thereby helping in the removal of toxins. In certain imbalances like obesity, urinary stones that are generated due to Kapha (Water) dosha (Humours) and in kapha-type of arthritis traditionally Punarnavadi Guggulu is used. Punarnavadi Guggulu is known as kidney tonic. Punarnavadi Guggulu contains beta–sitoster (A chemical present in Punarnava) which aids in inflammation (Root cause of most of the ailments) and heart related ailments. Punarnavadi Guggulu cleanses the body by flushing doshas (Humours) and Mala (Excrements/waste material in the form of stool, urine and sweat) from the Dhatus (Body Tissues) in the body and reopens the channels and properly nourishes them, thus impart an excellent rejuvenative action. Thus, a balance is restored in the nephrological and reproductive systems.
