Abstract

Mustadi Kwatha is a well-known Ayurvedic formulation. It is a widely prescribed drug and is used in all types of Prameha (Diabetes mellitus), Mutrakrichha (Urinary System related disease) and Santarpanjanya Vyadhi (disease due to over nutrition). Several studies have suggested that Mustadi Kwatha possesses anti-hyperlipidemic, anti- hyperglycemic and anti-oxidant activity. The present review explains the pharmacological potential of Mustadi Kwatha. In addition, this study investigates the pharmacological activities of each of the ingredients used in the formulation. It is believed that this review helps the researcher to further explore about this important Ayurvedic formulation.
