Prepared with Ashwagandha (Withania somnifera) as the principal herb along with eight classical supporting herbs processed in sesame oil, ghee, cow milk, and curd, this preparation is classically indicated for Vata-predominant conditions of Kshaya (depletion) and Shosha (wasting), and conditions associated with Vata imbalance in the musculoskeletal system.
