Gandhak Meaning - #5611
While researching Ayurvedic formulations, I came across the term gandhak, and I’m curious about its significance. What is the exact gandhak meaning in Ayurveda, and why is it used so often in herbal medicines? From what I’ve read, gandhak refers to purified sulfur, which is used for treating skin diseases, detoxifying the body, and improving digestion. Is this accurate? Does gandhak have other uses beyond these common applications? How is gandhak prepared and purified for use in Ayurvedic medicines? I’ve seen gandhak in formulations like gandhak rasayan – what makes it so effective in these treatments? If anyone here has used Ayurvedic remedies containing gandhak, I’d like to know how it worked for you. Were there any side effects, and are there specific conditions where gandhak should be avoided?
