About 

Panchavalkadi Yamakam is a classical Ayurvedic medicated ointment or ghee-based preparation primarily used for external application on wounds, skin infections, and ulcers.
It contains the powerful Panchavalkam group of herbs—namely Vata, Udumbara, Ashwatha, Plaksha, and Parish—which are renowned for their wound-healing (Vrana Ropana), anti-inflammatory, and antimicrobial properties.

This formulation balances Pitta and Kapha doshas, purifies the skin, and promotes natural tissue regeneration.
