Musta

Ayurvedic Bulk Herbs – Musta

Musta (Cyperus rotundus) is considered one of the best Ayurvedic herbs for promoting healthy, regular menstruation. Balancing for all three doshas, it helps regulate pitta and vata in the lower abdomen, promoting a comfortable, healthy flow. Soothing to the mind, musta helps balance the emotions in the days prior to and during menstruation. It also promotes breast comfort and helps maintain a healthy balance of fluids in the body. Without aggravating pitta, it strengthens digestion, eliminates natural toxins, and supports proper function of the liver. Musta promotes healthy absorption, well-formed stools, and the metabolism of fat. Its cooling and cleansing action also supports healthy skin and helps maintain a normal body temperature.*
