📄 Abstract
Galagandaghna Rasa1 is a classical Rasau?adhi described in Rasendra Sambhava by Vaidya Vishwanath Dwivedi and is traditionally indicated in pathological conditions characterized by abnormal glandular enlargements, including Gandamala, Granthi,Apachi, and Arbuda. The formulation is composed of RasaSindura (1 Pala), Triphala (3 Pala), Trikatu (6 Pala), and Shuddha Guggulu in an amount equal to the total weight of the above ingredients (10 Pala). The blended mixture undergoes seven days of Mardana with Kañchanara Twak Ka?aya as the Bhavana Dravya. The pharmacological properties attributed to this formulation Kaphahara, Medoghna, Lekhana, Sothahara, and Srotoshodhaka justify its therapeutic utility in reducing glandular swelling and regulating deranged metabolic processes. In contemporary clinical correlation, the condition described in classical texts resembles hypothyroidism, which commonly presents with reduced tissue metabolism and compensatory glandular hypertrophy. This review consolidates the classical references, probable pharmacodynamic mechanisms, and therapeutic significance of Galagandaghna Rasa, establishing it as a potent Rasau?adhi for disease conditions rooted in MedoDhatuDu??i, particularly Galaganda, Gandamala, Granthi, Apachi, and Arbuda.
