Vidanga is an ancient Ayurvedic herb commonly used for supporting gut health and relieving symptoms of digestive ailments.

Traditionally used for treating parasitic infections in the gut, Vidanga has come to be known for its ability to eliminate toxins from the digestive system, thus strengthening the digestive fire, Agni.
