Mugli Ghutti 555 is a traditional Ayurvedic herbal syrup manufactured by Shri Ram Ayurved Bhawan (also referred to as Shriram Ayurved). It has been used since 1918 as a natural remedy primarily for infants and young children (newborns to 5 years) to support digestive health and address common childhood issues. It is marketed as non-irritant, non-habit-forming, and free from artificial preservatives, colors, or flavors.

It is similar to gripe water in purpose—relieving colic, gas, constipation, and teething discomfort—but is fully Ayurvedic with a blend of herbs and minerals.
