Yograj Guggul Vati

Yograj Guggul Vati is a multi-herb Ayurvedic formulation processed with Dashmool decoction. It is traditionally used when Vata related stiffness, reduced mobility or digestive sluggishness are present together.

The formulation brings together Guggulu and other Ayurvedic ingredients traditionally used to support digestion, healthy Vata movement and comfortable joint and muscle function.

Yograj Guggulu in Knee Osteoarthritis

Open-label, multicentre, single-arm clinical study · 483 adults · 12 weeks

Preparation and Dose

Participants received Yograj Guggulu 1 g twice daily after meals, together with Ashwagandha Churna and local application of Narayana Taila.

Finding

The study reported significant improvements in WOMAC scores, pain scores and other symptoms of knee osteoarthritis over the study period. No adverse events were reported, and the interventions were described as well tolerated. (PubMed)

Importantly, the study evaluated Yograj Guggulu together with Ashwagandha Churna and Narayana Taila, rather than Yograj Guggulu alone. The results therefore should not be interpreted as proof that this Vati by itself produces the same effects.
