  1. Is weight gain a side effect when sowbhagya shunti is consumed? i want to know whether it relieves gas and constipation problems in the post natal period?

    Reply
    • Sowbhagya shunti does not cause weight gain in post-partum period. Though it contains milk, ghee etc, the ingredients like Musta (Cyperus), ginger, Coriander seed etc overcome the nourishing effect. It helps to relieve gas and constipation in post natal period.

  2. Hello doctor,

    Thanks for this article. Should this lehya be taken strictly after doc’s consultation or can be got over the counter ‘cos the mother may not be able to step out of the house post natal period? Also, how long should it be consumed?

    Thanks in advance,
    Vidya

    • Good question. Assuming that mother is not diabetic and does not have severe gastritis problem, this medicine can be given directly without consulting, 2 weeks after delivery onward for a period of 4 – 6 weeks.
