Sir I heard that if we take suvarna bhasma our face become RADIANT is it true…..and what if I take makardhwaj tablet or suvarna bhasm without any kind of disease..
Hi, Swarna bhasma or makaradhwaj tablet can be even by healthy, for a period of 30 – 40 days, but only under medical supervision.
SIDDHA MAKARADWAJA IS PRESCRIBED FOR R.A. ALONG WITH AHWAGANDGA.YOUR OPINION??DOSAGE?
A good combination. Dose is mentioned in the article above.
Hi, it can be taken, but it contains heavy metal ingredients. Hence, you need to consult a doctor for right dose advice.
What is the difference between Siddha Makardhwaj and Makardhwaj? And are they prescribed for different problems. Are their effects the same?
Effect is quite similar, though Siddha Makaradhwaj is slightly more effective.
The ingredients are same but the amount of Swarna Bhasma is four times more in Siddha Makaradhwaj than plain makaradhwaj.

My ayurvedacharya advised me to take this product lifelong (half a tablet a day with honey) for better fitness as I am also an active sportsperson. I am now 50. Is it okay if I take this dosage lifelong as a prophylactic as I have noticed brilliant results in the form of improved fitness and greater stamina with improved concentration levels to go with it. Please do advise……….:)
actually it is not suggested to take this for longer duration of time, and should be stopped by tapering the dose. consult your doctor once again and confirm.
Siddha makardhwaj is not suitable for your said condition. Something like Yogaraja Guggulu tablet -1 tablet twice a day looks more suitable. Consult an Ayurveda doctor.

as I heard about this product decades ago and wondered how it is someone could ingest mercury and suffer no ill effects, I am glad to see you consistently refer people to see a doctor, in person, when seeking treatment with this medication. do you know any doctors in the Nebraska area who are familiar with this medicine?
Ayurvedic text books explain in detail about ill effects of Mercury poisoning. The books also have purification procedures for mercury are also explained. These processes are done to ensure to nullify the side effects of mercury. The modern science is yet to wake up to this fact.
I do not have any contact with Ayurveda specialist in Nebraska. But I know a few in Ca, Florida, Maryland, NJ, NY and Pennsylvania. Let me know if you are interested in any of these?

Sir taking ALFOO 10mg allopathic medicine for prostate problem
Ayurvedic doctor prescribed me siddha makardhwaj & Laxmi bilash rasa of dabar for cold & couph
Ithose allopathic & arurvedic medicine can be taken at a time?
Recently my 4th visit to Arya Vaid Sala clinic, doctor prescribed Siddha Makardhwaj & Vasant Kusumakar Ras though I have used it for 3 months. I asked him whether it can be used more than 3 months as these contain heavy metals. He suggested that if the bhasmas are made purified properly during bhasma making process & are taken in prescribed doses of 1 to 2 capsule max, then proper absorption is made by body & it can be taken throughout life without any toxicity. But slight impurity can cause toxicity & will be very harmful to body.
Is he right as you have told that these medicines can be taken in a maximum of 2 months?.
Dear sir,
With with due respect, its mentioned in this topic that these heavy metal medicines should be taken not more than 2 months & now you are saying it can be taken throughout life in prescribed doses.
So how should one take these medicines?
Hi, it largely depends on the prescribing doctor. There is no prescribed time limit mentioned in Ayurvedic text books. My personal advice to anyone is to limit its usage for 2 months.
Sometimes, the consulting doctor would be busy and may not clear all the doubts in patients mind. 🙂
I do not live in Delhi. I do not do direct consultation.
Below Ayurveda centers in Delhi are good.

Is there any substitute for siddha makardhwaj that does not contain any heavy metal?
Depends mainly on the purpose used. Usually Ashwagandha or Shilajit are good substitutes for Siddha Makardhwaj.
Sorry that this medicine cannot be prescribed online. It requires direct doctor’s consultation.
Usual dose is one tablet per day.
It is still fine to continue for a month and then consult your doctor. Usually it does not cause tiredness.
