Bringhana comes from the Sanskrit word, brihat (big or great) because it helps you to gain weight. The term in Ayurveda used to describe any herb or food that builds all the tissues is bringhana. It supports overall physical, as well as sexual, strength by building all the tissues, especially shukra dhatu (reproductive tissue). It is not a vajikarana herb (aphrodisiac), like ashwagandha. Some modern studies have found that gokshura increases testosterone.Īccording to the Sanskrit texts, gokshura has the property of being balakrit (giving physical and sexual stamina). Gokshura Gives Strength, Especially to Men The Hindi name, gokhru also means “cow’s hoof,” and Vaidya Mishra uses both the Sanskrit and Hindi names interchangeably in his ingredients. This is because the small fruits (about 150 mg each) look very much like the hooves of cows, with several big thorns and lots of little spines on them. The word, gokshura, comes from two Sanskrit words: go (cow) and akshura (hoof). This plant commonly goes by two names in Ayurveda: gokshura in Sanskrit, and gokhru in Hindi.
