Description
About
Rasnapanchakam Kashayam is a classical Ayurvedic decoction primarily used for musculoskeletal disorders, inflammation, and chronic pain.
The name “Rasnapanchakam” comes from its key ingredients – five varieties of Rasna (Pluchea lanceolata, Vanda roxburghii, etc.), which are Vata-pacifying, anti-inflammatory, and analgesic. This decoction is widely used in Ayurvedic therapies for arthritis, low back pain, and joint stiffness, as it strengthens muscles, improves mobility, and reduces pain.
