Dashamoola दशमूल

This is a post for students and lovers of classical Ayurveda. Sanskrit terminology is used.

We wrote about our homemade classical Ayurvedic medicine called Dashamoola Haritaki Lehyam over the last few days. 

As the names says all, it contains Dashamoola along other herbs and spices.

Have you heard of Dashamoola before?

Dashamoola is made up of two sets of roots:

1. Brhat Pancha Mula: Translated as the five big roots. These are large trees and their roots are big.
2. Laghu Pancha Mula: Translated as the five smaller roots. These are small plants.

In today’s post, we will discuss the five big roots; the Brhat Panchamula. These include: 

Bilwa, Agnimantha, Shyonaka, Patala, Gambhari.

Properties of the Brhat Panchamula:

•Rasa: Tikta (bitter), kashaya (astringent) and Madhura (sweet).

•Guna: laghu (light), ushna (heating), ruksha (drying).

•Virya: ushna (heating)

•Vipaka: katu (heating)

Actions of the Brhat Panchamula:

Dosha: tridoshaghna but predominantly Kapha and Vata hara.

Dhatu and Srotas: pranavaha, annavaha and majjavaha srotas.

Mala: grahi action as they are ushna, produce sweda due to their ushnatwa.

They are ama pachaka and agnideepaka. Meaning, they help to digest AMA (digestive toxins) and kindle the Agni (digestive fire).

We will post more about the Laghu Panchamoola, the five small roots over the next few days.
