how many days should be taken to cure depression or anxity disorder…??? and what dosage ???
how many days should be taken for schizophrenia deases.????? plz reply…
First up, it is not good to self medicate with this or any Ayurvedic medicines.
The time period of intake depends on the severity of the disease. Generally it needs to be taken for 1 – 2 months time with slightly higher doses, then after that, the dose can be gradually reduced.
It’s a good medicine which calms ur mind and helps to reveal from ur stress.
Much better with the combination of manasamithra vsdaka in case of anxiety and depression.
(Consult a ayurved doctor so he can evaluate ur body better)
