Ayurvedic Perspective
According to Ayurvedic principles, aggravated Vata can bring pain, stiffness, dryness and weakness in the joints and muscles, and can also disturb the movement of breath, leading to cough and hiccups. The Dasamoola roots are classically regarded as the foremost group of herbs for calming Vata. Bala and Atibala strengthen and nourish the tissues, Devadaru and Kushta bring warmth that eases stiffness and clears excess Kapha, and Tagara supports calm and comfort in the nerves.
