Baidyanath Kolkata Nityanand Ras is a traditional Ayurvedic remedy with roots in the Rasashastra, a specialized branch of Ayurveda focusing on the preparation of therapeutic metallic and mineral substances.Nityanand Ras has been traditionally recommended to address a range of health concerns, particularly those associated with the respiratory system. It is notably recognized for its potential in managing shleepad or elephantiasis. Elephantiasis, medically known as lymphatic filariasis, is a condition triggered by three distinct types of parasitic worms: Wuchereria bancrofti, Brugia malayi, and Brugia timori. These worms obstruct the lymphatic system, causing the accumulation of fluid in tissues, which subsequently leads to swelling and enlargement of affected body parts. The impacted region typically becomes inflamed, red, and warm. In cases of elephantiasis, the extremities can swell significantly, resembling the foreleg of an elephant. Additionally, the condition might induce symptoms such as nausea, headaches, and fever.
