Hello Thank you for sharing your concern. Since you are 60 years old and experiencing prostate enlargement (BPH) with urinary difficulties but dont worry we are here to help you out😊

✅Understanding Your Condition from an Ayurvedic Perspective

Prostate enlargement is usually due to Vata-Kapha vitiation in Mutravaha Srotas (urinary channels) and granthi (prostate tissue growth). This leads to: Hesitant or weak urine stream Incomplete bladder emptying Frequent urination, especially at night

👉Dashmularisht and Gokhru (Tribulus terrestris) act synergistically to address these imbalances:

Dashmularishta – A fermented herbal tonic made from 10 roots (Dashmoola); it balances Vata, strengthens tissues, improves circulation in pelvic region, and supports healthy urinary function.

Gokhru – Diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and Mutrala (urine promoting); helps improve bladder emptying and reduces residual urine.

✅ Expected Benefits

When taken consistently, patients usually experience: 1. Improved urine flow – The stream becomes stronger, and hesitation reduces. 2. Reduced frequency and nocturia – Less urgent urination at night. 3. Soothing effect on bladder – Reduces irritation and burning sensation. 4. Systemic benefits – Supports overall tissue health and reduces pelvic congestion.

You can also add ✅Ural BPH 1-0-1 after food

Since you’ve been taking it less than a week, it is too early to notice significant improvements. Usually, visible benefits are observed after 4–6 weeks of regular use.

✅Dosage & Administration

Dashmularisht – 15–20 ml with equal warm water, twice daily after meals Gokhru decoction (kadha) – 20–30 ml twice daily, or 1 tsp dry powder boiled in water and strained Duration – Minimum 2–3 months for chronic prostate enlargement

Note: Ensure moderate diet, warm fluids, and gentle exercise for best results.

✅DIET AND LIFESTYLE. MODIFICATION

✅Include

Warm, easily digestible food Include Gokhru, Lauki (bottle gourd), pumpkin, and cucumber Drink lukewarm water, 6–8 glasses/day Short walks, light yoga (e.g., Moolabandha, Vajrasana)

❌ Avoid

Heavy, oily, fried foods Excessive tea, coffee, or alcohol Holding urine for long periods Excessive sedentary lifestyle

Important Advice

Regular follow-up with your doctor is essential to monitor PSA levels and ensure no other complications.

Dashmularisht and Gokhru are safe, effective, and well-studied in Ayurveda for BPH.

Patients typically notice gradual improvement in urine flow, reduction in frequency, and relief from discomfort after 4–6 weeks of regular use.

For best results, combine with diet, lifestyle, and possibly Basti therapy under supervision.

Wishing you a good health😊

Warm regards, Dr Snehal Vidhate

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

INTERNAL MEDICATIONS

1) DASHMULARISHTA= 20 ml + equal water twice daily after meals =anti inflammatory , Balances Vata, stregthens pelvic organs

2) GOKSHURADI GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals with lukewarm water = relieves prostate swelling, promotes urine flow

3) CHANDRAPRABHA VATI= 1 tab twice daily after meals = supports urinary metabolism acts as rasayana

4) VARUNDAI KASHAYA= 20 ml twice daily with warm water before meals = breaks obstruction, reduces prostate enlargement

5) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =helps reduce glandular hypertrophy and inflammation

6)TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =keeps bowel clear, which is essential for balancing apana vayu

DURATION= 8-12 weeks

DIET -old rice, wheat, barely and green gram -boiled vegetables= lauki, tore, pumpkin, spinach -Fruits= pomegranate, amla, papaya -Spices=cumin,coriander, fennel , turemric -Liquids= warm water, barley water or gokhru + Varun decoction -Milk with turmeric or shatavari if digestion is good

AVOID -spicy, sour and salty foods -fried and heavy to digest meals -red meat, cheese, curd at night -alcohol, caffeine, and cold drinks -overeating or eating late at night

LIFESTYLE AND DAILY HABITS -Avoid retaining urine= always empty the bladder when needed -avoid sitting for long hours= get up and walk every hour -keep bowels clear= constipation worsen prostate symtpoms -do not suppress natural urges like urine or stools -maintain moderate sexual activity- neither excessive nor complete abstinence -keep body warm- cold exposure aggravates vata

YOGA AND PRANAYAM Gentle yoga strengthens pelvic floor muscles and regulates apana vata

ASANAS -bhadrasana -moola bandha -pawanmuktasaa -setu bandhaana -vajrasana after meals 10 mi- improves digestion and bladder control

PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom -bhramari -sheetali

HOME REMEDIES -Pumpkin seeds= 1-2 tbsp daily- rich in zinc, supports prostate health -Amla juice = 20 ml daily for antioxidant and anti inflammatory effect -Barley water= natural diuretic, supports urinary flow -Coconut water= hydrates and cools the urinary tract -Soaked fenugreek seeds or onion juice with honey - mild diuretic effect

Your PSA level indicates there is no malignancy concern. The elargement is likely benign and age related By following Ayurvedic management focusing on vata balance, urinary cleansing, and rejuvenation, many patients experience significant improvement within 6-8 weeks, with sustained results through dietary and lifestyle care

Ayurveda treats not only the prostate but restores the whole urinary and reproductive system’s vitality- the aim is long term comfort and natural functioning, not just symptoms control

DO FOLLOW

HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL

THANK YOU

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.
