Abstract

Gokshura (Tribulus terrestris) is an important medicinal herb widely used in Ayurveda for its therapeutic and rejuvenating properties. It is a small, herb commonly found in dry and sandy regions. Traditionally, it is known for its beneficial effects on the urinary system, reproductive health, and overall vitality. The plant possesses Madhura rasa (sweet taste), Sheeta virya (cooling potency), and Madhura vipaka, which help in balancing Vata and Pitta dosha.

Pharmacologically, Gokshura is recognized for its diuretic, anti-inflammatory, and strengthening actions. It is frequently used in the management of urinary disorders such as dysuria, kidney stones, and urinary tract infections. In classical Ayurvedic formulations, it is a key component of preparations like Dashamoola and also used as a Rasayana to promote longevity and health.
