We previously wrote about the many benefits of the Bilva fruit Besides the fruits and the leaves, the Bilva roots are also used for their medicinal benefits.

In today’s post, we will discuss the five big roots; the Brhat Panchamula. These include:
Bilwa, Agnimantha, Shyonaka, Patala, Gambhari.
Properties of the Brhat Panchamula:
•Rasa: Tikta (bitter), kashaya (astringent) and Madhura (sweet).
•Guna: laghu (light), ushna (heating), ruksha (drying).
•Virya: ushna (heating)
•Vipaka: katu (heating)
Actions of the Brhat Panchamula:
Dosha: tridoshaghna but predominantly Kapha and Vata hara.
Dhatu and Srotas: pranavaha, annavaha and majjavaha srotas.
Mala: grahi action as they are ushna, produce sweda due to their ushnatwa.
They are ama pachaka and agnideepaka. Meaning, they help to digest AMA (digestive toxins) and kindle the Agni (digestive fire)
We will post more about the Laghu Panchamoola, the five small roots over the next few days.
