Hi, Stop Pushyanuga and give Raja Pravartini vati tablet -1 tablet 2 times a day for 15 days. Even with that, if periods do not start, then you will have to consult another Ayurveda doctor directly.
Please continue with Triphala and Dhanvantari pills.
I have been taking a dosage of 5 gms with honey for two mnths now. I had a scanty period of one day during my ntnal period date. Is it because of the churnam?
pusyanug has practically no side effect. the reason for not having the side effect is formulation planning i.e. according to ayurvedic principles of “प्रयोगं शमयेत् व्याधि न च अन्यमुदिरयेत्”
Are those ingredients of pusyanuga churna containing ingredients from animal?
No

Hello, Dr. Hebbar, I am from Russia. Pushyanuga Churna can help me with the ulcerative colitis??? or not??? My friends tells me, that Pushyanuga Churna, Guduchyadi kashaya churnam helps with raktaatisara , and they are very good in ulcerative colitis. IS IT TRUE???
Hi, as pushyanuga churna possess all the pungent properties and acts as haemostatic and guduchi having rejuvenating property together may definitely give good result for rakthathisara or ulcerative colitis. But before doing any trial it is always better to get advice of an Ayurvedic doctor near to you.
it should not be taken for longer period of time, since it may cause irregular menstrual periods. it should be taken only when the flow or secretions are more, after that it has to be stopped. there are other medicines which are to be given along with this to cure the condition, which are to be continued till the time advised by your doctor. self medication is not advisable.
hi, my doc rec me to take phalasarpis and pushunga chunham daily for my infertility.

after having pan chakarma for 3 weeks over xmas, i was 8 days late on my normal 24 day cycle and i only bled for 2 days. however the quality of the blood flow was better than it has ever been. i struggle to take pushanga cos of the taste and i am therefore not consistant with it. i thought it was for heavy periods but my periods are light. can you please advise?
it will help to correct the menstrual flow when it is used for only a short period of time, otherwise it may result in scanty bleeding. please confirm with your physician again regarding the dose and duration of pushyanuga choorna.
No madam it does not. Would advice not to take over the counter medication and consult a Physician before doing so.
