Ela, Karpoora, Pippali,Devadaru,Rudraksha all act on the respiratory system.
Shunti,Abhaya are good for digestion, carminative.
Bhunimba,Kirata tikta are jwara shamana drugs.
Jati is used for diarrhoea, abdominal spasms, flatulence.
Bruhati is anti diarrhoeal, anti pyretic, anti inflammatory, hepatoprotective.
CONCLUSION :
So, even though common use is of anulomana, as said in the indication in the sloka, it can be used for respiratory diseases as kapha nirharana. It can be given with vasarishtam and dasamoolakatutrayadi kashayam. Also it is a jwara shamana drug. It can be given in initial stages of all diseases as vatanulomana and ama pachana. It is also anti diarrhoeal, can be given in diarhhoea, and irritable bowel syndrome. It is also hepato protecttive, and anti tumerogenic and anti inflammatory. So searching for a broad spectrum ayurvedic drug ?
