Ashta (Hingvashtaka) powder
The Ashta Churnam is known for its intensive stimulation of the Agni (digestive fire) without causing excessive heat (although it is slightly warming). It has a special regulating effect on the Vayu (movement) of the Maha-Nadi (the digestive tract). Due to its loosening and excretory properties, it is effective for complaints such as abdominal swelling, cramps or intestinal gas. In addition, it can be used to detoxify or cleanse the intestines and to support the fight against worms and fungi.
Special care is required when using the powder for heartburn!

Information about Ayurvedic powders (Churnam): Various powder preparations play an important role in Ayurveda. Some consist of just a single root that has been cleaned, ground and dried, while other Churnam consist of a combination of different plants or even complex recipes. The Churnam are often further processed or are part of a larger recipe.
