Bloating & indigestion

Inflammatory gut conditions

Food intolerance-related inflammation

🔸 1. Potent Natural Anti-inflammatory

• Contains glycyrrhizin, which inhibits COX and LOX enzymes, reducing the production of pro-inflammatory prostaglandins and leukotrienes (like NSAIDs but gentler).

• Effective in gastric, skin, respiratory, and joint inflammation.

🔸 2. Reduces Inflammatory Markers 

• Studies show that Yashti lowers TNF-α, IL-6, and CRP – key markers in chronic inflammation.

• Useful for managing autoimmune conditions, IBD, and chronic gastritis.

🔸 3. Protects Against Oxidative Stress 

• Rich in antioxidants, including glabridin and isoliquiritigenin, which protect cells from free radical damage.

• This slows down inflammatory aging processes in the gut and other tissues.

🔸 4. Gentle on the System 

• Unlike NSAIDs (which may harm the stomach lining), Yashti protects and heals while reducing inflammation.
