Musthanol Syrup: Traditional Ayurvedic Digestive & Wellness Tonic
Musthanol Syrup is a classical Ayurvedic digestive tonic formulated around Musta (Cyperus rotundus / Nut grass) — one of Ayurveda’s most important digestive and carminative herbs. It is used in traditional Kerala Ayurveda for managing a wide range of digestive complaints, from bloating and indigestion to irritable bowel and appetite loss.
Key Ingredients
- Musta (Cyperus rotundus) — the primary herb; digestive, carminative, anti-inflammatory, and cooling; balances Pitta and Kapha in the digestive tract
- Shunti (Zingiber officinale / Ginger) — the universal digestive herb; stimulates Agni (digestive fire) and reduces bloating
- Pippali (Piper longum / Long pepper) — bioavailability enhancer; stimulates digestion and absorption
- Dhanyaka (Coriandrum sativum / Coriander) — cooling digestive; reduces burning and acidity
- Jeeraka (Cuminum cyminum / Cumin) — carminative; reduces gas and bloating

- Loss of appetite (Aruchi)
- Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) symptoms
