Mahasudarshan Churna

Mahasudarshan Churna is an antipyretic medicine used in ayurveda. It is a main ayurvedic medicine for the management of all types of fevers. It reduces AMA (toxins) and helps to fight off fevers and infections. In all types of fevers, AMA blocks the micro-channels in the body. Maha Sudarshan Churna unblocks these channels and increases sweating, which helps to reduce fever.

Furthermore, Mahasudarshan Churna also has antibacterial, antimicrobial, and antiviral actions, which enhances the efficacy of other anti-infection medicines and reduces the severity of different bacterial and viral infections.

Mahasudarshan Churna is used to treat all types of acute and chronic fevers, fever of unknown etiology, malaria, typhoid fever, loss of appetite, headache, respiratory infections, jaundice, debility, cough and breathing difficulties linked with fever, etc.
