Dhootapapeshwar Trayodashang Guggul Tablet for Lower Back Pain, Sciatica and Stiff Joints

What are the uses of Trayodashang Guggulu?

Dhootapapeshwar Trayodashang Guggulu is an Ayurvedic tablet made to reduce lower back pain, sciatica and stiff joints. It helps when the lower back hurts all day, pain pulls from the hip into the leg, or shoulder and hip joints go stiff. Guggulu, a tree gum, makes up 40% of each tablet. Plenty of cow ghee goes in too. Over time, the pain eases and stiff joints move freely again.

Quick Facts:

• It is a guggulu. The ground herbs are pounded into the soft gum for a long time. When it sets, the gum itself keeps each tablet in shape.
• Benefits — People also take Trayodashang Guggul for neck pain and a stiff neck from sitting at a desk or looking at the phone for long hours. It eases muscle spasms in the back too.
• Indications — Given for osteoarthritis, the knee pain that comes as joints wear out with age. Also for vata pain in the bones, bone marrow and tendons, and for vata trouble in the belly that shows up as gas and bloating.
• Dosage — After food, 2 to 4 tablets at a time, two or three times a day. They can be swallowed with Dashamoolarishta, cow's milk, meat soup or just lukewarm water.
• Side Effects — Most people feel nothing wrong at the normal dose. Once in a while someone gets a mild headache or feels a little dizzy. Trayodashang Guggul is not meant for women who are pregnant or breastfeeding.
• When sciatica comes with tingling or burning in the leg, Dhootapapeshwar Bruhat Vata Chintamani Rasa is often given with it to calm the nerve pain.
• Bend your knees, not your back, when you pick something up from the floor. A very soft mattress is also bad for the lower back, so sleep on a firm one.

Rasna and vidhara work directly on vata pain. For strength, it has ashwagandha and shatavari, because weak muscles around a painful joint let the pain keep coming back. Giloy helps bring swelling down. Babool bark makes bones stronger, along with the bands that hold a joint together. With hauber and gokhru you pass more urine, and puffy joints go down a little. The four kitchen spices, sonth, ajwain, saunf and kachur, are there for digestion. And the ghee in Trayodashang Guggul keeps joints from turning dry and stiff.

Do's and Don'ts While Taking Trayodashanga Guggulu

What to Eat

Cow's milk, cow ghee, wheat, urad dal (black gram), kulthi dal (horse gram) and shali rice. Til (sesame) and til oil. Chichinda (snake gourd), baingan, lahsun, mango, ber and coconut. Meals should be light but still filling.

What to Avoid

Chana, green peas, barley and jamun. Regular rice, other than the shali kind. Kamalgatta, supari and karela. Cold water, alkaline salts like papad khar, and dried or frozen meat. Also anything with a kasaila taste, like raw banana. These foods are dry, cold or gassy, and they make vata pain worse.

Lifestyle

While on Trayodashang Guggul, a slow, gentle massage with warm medicated oil is good for the back and joints. AVP Sahacharadi Thailam is a common choice for pain in the lower back and legs. After the oil, give the area warm sek with a hot water bag. A medicated enema and a medicine that clears out the bowels also help. Trained staff give both at an Ayurvedic centre. Go to bed on time, and keep stress and worry low. Avoid too much sex. Never hold back the urge to pass urine or stool.
