Vayu Gulika is a traditional polyherbal-mineral Ayurvedic formulation composed of aromatic, carminative, and nervine herbs such as Tvak (Cinnamomum zeylanicum), Pippali (Piper longum), Ela (Elettaria cardamomum), and Vaca (Acorus calamus), along with potent mineral ingredients like Vatsanabha (Aconitum ferox, purified), Chaliyam (Cinnabar), and Manayola (Realgar, purified). These ingredients work synergistically to balance Vata dosha, especially in the digestive and nervous systems. The formulation is known for its Vata-anulomana (normalizing Vata flow), Hikka nigrahana (managing hiccups), and Shulahara (alleviating pain) actions. It is traditionally indicated in conditions like Hikka (hiccups), Vatavikaras (Vata disorders), Shula (abdominal pain), and other nervous or respiratory irritations. The inclusion of Triphala, Karpoora, and Bhringaraja swarasa enhances its digestive and calming effects. Vayu Gulika is typically used under expert guidance due to the presence of potent and mineral-based ingredients.
