Derived from the resinous root of the Convolvulus plant, this herb is renowned for its strong purgative and detoxifying effects, making it highly effective in cleansing the digestive system and expelling accumulated toxins (ama) from the body. It is traditionally used to balance aggravated Kapha and Pitta doshas and is believed to support healthy bowel movements and alleviate conditions such as constipation and bloating.
