Whether Abhayarishtam or Mustharishtam is best for the above problem?
Usually it is not advised for children. So, I do not recommend it.
I used to take Abhayarishtam along with Dasamoola kaduthrayam(DMK) from AVP. I started around Dec 2012 in India. I also used to take some vyoshadi vatakam. As you can see it was for stomach ailments along with breathing issues (sinus etc). So I used to take pre-prepared mix of Abhaya and DMK. SInce I had to leave for the USA I bough extra bottles of these separately.For whatever reason, for one month I felt extremely great full of energy(using pre-prepared medication).I even lost weight. Then I mixed these in equal quantities and used them.For some reason they did not work well again for me.
Reason i mention the pre-prepared decoction might have nothing to do with it…or everything to do with it…or does efficacy of medication reduce with flight travel or due to cold weather? But ultimately my bowel issues are back so also my sinus issues.
What could have caused it to work well initially and then not work?
Definitely it is due to cold weather. Air travel would not impact the efficacy of medicine to a large margin.
Thanks for your reply. Please suggest alternative for cold weather.
