Description
About
Sapthasaram Ghrutham is a classical Ayurvedic medicated ghee (Ghritha) formulation known for its powerful action on Vata and Kapha-related disorders, particularly those affecting the digestive, reproductive, and excretory systems.
It is primarily used to treat constipation, abdominal pain, menstrual irregularities, and Vata-related uterine disorders. The term Sapthasaram refers to a blend of seven potent herbal ingredients that help regulate bowel movement, improve digestion, and promote women’s reproductive health.
This ghee-based formulation also serves as a mild purgative and rejuvenator, enhancing internal lubrication and reducing dryness in the body.
