  1. Dear Sir,
    All the ingredients listed here, except Ela(shIta-guNa) and gUDa(uShNa-snigdha), mostly possess uShNa, laghu, rUkSha and lEkhana qualities.
    How then does it pacify VAta & Pitta?
    In think, it should rather be Kapha-hara.
    Please, let me know if I’m wrong.

    Kind regards,
    Dilip S
