Dhanvantara Ghrita reference: 
Ashtanga Hrudaya Chikitsa Sthana 12/19-23

Indications as per astanga hrudaya :

Sarva prameha,  pandu,  vidradhi, gulma, arsass, sosha, sopha, gara, udara, swasa, kasa, vamathu, pleeha vruddhi, vata shonitha, kushta, unmada, apasmara. 

Discussion :

Dasamoola and dwi punarnnava are anti inflammatory,  anti oedematic drugs with pittha shamans properties. 

Apart from that almost all drugs have vatanulomana properties,  kapha shamana properties, are ushna, katu vipaka,  laghu guna, rooksha,  krimi shodhana, rechaka, dur medo hara, gulma arsogna,  vibhandha hara, graha apasmara dosha hara. Even though kola is of sheeta veerya,  rest all are ushna.  All are also swasa hara, pippalli, pushkaramoola, shunti, in particular. Nagadanti, Snuhi, Arka, trivrith, vidanga, kampillaka, etc are specifically rechaka and krimi Shodhana and are common and well known for that. Varuna is a well known for medo toga. Arushkara is the best kapha mitigating drug. 

Conclusion:

So the idea that this ghrutha called dhanwanthara gives us is that of kapha vata shamana through shodhana. It is a Shodhana drug, not a shamana one. Abscess, carbuncles, constipation, skin problems with eczematous lesions,  respiratory infection with lots of kapha, haemorrhoids with bleeding one, fistula, elephentiasis, and all other conditions that need Shodhana this can be used. The onus is on kapha and vata.
