Dashmula Tea — An Ancient Ayurvedic Elixir for Grounding Vata After Birth

Dashmula translates to “ten roots”—a powerful Ayurvedic formula made from the roots of ten rejuvenating herbs. Used for centuries in postpartum care, Dashmula is deeply grounding, anti-inflammatory, and soothing for the nervous system.

What Is Dashmula?

A blend of 10 root herbs, typically including:

  • Bilva

  • Agnimantha

  • Shyonaka

  • Patala

  • Gambhari

  • Brihati

  • Kantakari

  • Gokshura

  • Shalaparni

  • Prishnaparni

These herbs are carefully selected to calm Vata, relieve pain, and support the womb’s restoration.
