About 

Gandharvashtadi Kashaya Gulika (also called Gandharvahastadi Kashaya Gulika or Gandharvahastadi Tablet) is a classical Ayurvedic tablet form of the decoction Gandharvashtadi Kashayam.

It is widely used as a natural laxative and detoxifying formulation. The main ingredient Gandharvahasta (Castor plant – Ricinus communis) helps in relieving constipation, bloating, abdominal distension, and pain by promoting proper bowel movement and eliminating toxins (Ama) from the body.

This medicine also helps in balancing Vata and Pitta doshas, especially in conditions involving flatulence, back pain, and rheumatic disorders.
