Abstract

Nearly 70% of Ayurvedic pharmaceutical formulations are of herbo-mineral origin, and Gandhakvati is one such formulation that is offered in traditional Vati (tablet) form. In practise, it is mostly utilised in the Ayurvedic medical system to treat digestive issues. Here, a number of references to Gandhakvati are gathered from Ayurvedic data sources such traditional texts and lexicons and then thoroughly examined in terms of ingredients, ratio, dose, and their indications. According to the classics, it has more therapeutic uses in Agnimandya. There are around nine formulations with the name Gandhakvati that are listed in various ancient books, each with a unique set of ingredients and therapeutic properties.
