HELLO,
YOU MENTIONED, -AGE= 60 years -PSA=0.4 (which is normal) -MAIN COMPLAINT= difficulty in urination -USING= dashmoolarishta and gokhru decoction
WHAT IS PROSTATE ENLARGEMENT The prostate is a small gland that sits below the bladder and surrounds the urethra . As men age, this gland can grow in size, pressing on the urethra and slowing urine flow
COMMON SYMPTOMS -difficulty starting urination -weak urinestream -feeling of incomplete emptying -frequent urination at night -occassional dribbling after urination
In Ayurveda, this condition resembles “Mutraghata” or “Vataja mutrakrichra”, both caused mainly by vitiation of vata dosha, especially apana vayu, which governs the lower abdomen and urination
When Apana vayu becomes disturbed due to aging, stress, constipation, sitting long hours, or poor diet, it causes -obstruction of urine flow -swelling or stiffess in urinary organs like prostate -dryness and weakness in pelvic tissues
So, treatment focuses on balancing apana vayu, reducing swelling, improving urine flow, and rejuvenating the urinary tract.
TREATMENT GOALS -reduce swelling and inflammation of the prostate -improve urinary flow and relieve retention -tone and rejuvenate bladder and urethral muscles -pacify vata dosha and maintain apana vayu balance -prevent recurrence by lifestyle , diet and yoga

Dashmularasht is a well-known Ayurvedic formulation that consists of ten roots and is used mainly to support reproductive health, and rejuvenate tissues, which can be beneficial in prostate enlargement by alleviating inflammation and balancing Vata dosha. On the other hand, Gokhru (Tribulus terrestris) is traditionally used in Ayurveda to support urinary health and aid in reducing urinary symptoms associated with prostate enlargement.
While individual experiences may vary, many people find these herbs useful in reducing symptoms like frequent urination or incompletion. The combination might work synergistically in improving overall urinary functions. But, it’s important that these are used as part of a comprehensive treatment strategy specific to one’s constitution (Prakriti) and current doshic imbalances.
You can continue taking the Dashmularisht in a dose of about 15-30 ml diluted with equal water twice a day after meals. Gokhru can be taken as a powder (churna) about 3-5 grams with warm water or as per the dosage form you acquired it in, once or twice daily. It’s important to monitor any improvement or adverse effects.
Also, consider dietary adjustments like reducing intake of spicy, and heavy-to-digest foods that can aggravate Pitta. u Should also increase hydrating fluids, particularly barley water and small cumin-coriander infused teas throughout the day. Avoiding caffeine and alcohol is typically recommended in these scenarios, as they may exacerbate symptoms.
Remember regular physical activity appropriate to your capability helps maintain optimal digestive fire (Agni) and keeps the body in balance. As always consulting with your healthcare provider before starting or continuing any herbal treatment is crucial as they can offer personalized guidance and monitor your progress.
