  1. Dear Dr Shirish,
    Thanks for your kind appreciation. I am unaware of patoladi Guggulu tablet.
    I know that Patoladi kashayam is made into tablet form called as Patoladi Kashayam tablet, by AVN.

    I have following references of patoladi Ghrita but none of them contain any guggulu.
    1. Patola Ghruta – Vanga Sena Samhita, Kshudraroga Chikitsa – Patola, Triphala, Rasanjana – Used in Ahiputana.
    2. Patolamuladi Ghrita – Charaka Samhita, Chikitsa Sthana, 12 (Shwayathu Chikitsa) – Patolamoola, Devadaru, Trayanti, Pippali, Abhaya, Vishala, yashti, Katurohini, Chandana, Nichula, Darvi – useful in Visarpa, Daha, jwara, Sannipata, Trushna, Visha, Shvayathu.
    3. Patola shunti Ghrita – Chakradatta – Amlapitta Chikitsa Kaphapittahara.
    4. Patoladi Ghrita – the one explained above.
    5. Panchatikta Guggulu Ghrita contains Patola as an ingredient.

    I am using patoladi gritham during 2 years , putting 1 drop in each eye for dry eyes. This was recomended by a doctor during panchakarma treatment in India. It was working very well until some months, does it doesn’t seem to be working at all. Is is possible that this medicine can expire? loose its healing power?
