Chandra Prabha Vati (Baidyanath)

Chandra Prabha’s name means ‘moon shine’ or ‘moon glow’, which refers to its ability to control ‘watery’ diseases such as diabetes, urinary problems and disturbances of semen (the moon rules the oceans); to regulate and regularize the menstrual cycle (which is ruled by the moon); and to purify the emotions (which are also under the moon’s sway).
 
A partial list of disease in which Chandra Prabha is administered includes albuminuria, urinary obstructions and the twenty types of abnormal urine (including diabetes); pruritis of the vulva, leucorrhoea, and ovarian cyst;  inguinal hernia, hydrocele and cysts or tumours of the male genitals; and, occasionally, colic, abdominal distension, constipation, lumbago, asthma, cough, psoriasis and other skin diseases, anaemia, jaundice, cirrhosis, piles, enlargement of the liver or spleen, diseases of the teeth or eyes, digestive weakness, loss of appetite and fever.

Chandra Prabha Vati contains shilajit, a variety of herbs such as calamus, nutgrass, guduchi, cedar, cinnamon, cardamom, Triphala and chitraka, the five varieties of salt, and incinerated iron, topped off with a bhavana of Triphala decoction.
