How the hell it calms pitta when all the herbs in it increase pitta?
not all ingredients increase pitta, it also plays very important role in setting digestive fire in proper condition, which helps in maintaining Tridoshas in balance.
It contains virechak (purgative) drugs like haritaki thus removes vitiated pitta.But physician should take care of anupana in pitta prakruti patients.It corrects Ama dosha of body by correcting Agni.
Dr Hebber & dr jitendra , i am m45 , i have been asked to take vaiswanaram chooran with luke warm water & i am pitta prakruti with my pitta being kind of super vitiated for a very long time (abt 25+ yrs now)now. I wish to ask wat better anupana is thr for people like me. I have liver issues for same time now ,pls advise
Dear Harmeet,
You can add gau ghrut(cow’s ghee ) as anupana or you can consult to your physician.
Mahatiktak ghrit is good for vitiated pitta,but take churna separately with gau ghrit just add to make paste and drink Luke warm water with it or consult to your physician
Which company manufactures this choorn? Also does anyone know of Pañcakolacūrna?
Is this medicine good for seborrheic dermatitis?
Hi, if you have got all the ingredients, then make a combination with equal parts and take it half a teaspoon after food in the morning for a month time.
To identify each ingredient, just do a google image search.
Hello Sir,
Is it safe for children below 5yrs and what should be the dose?
Better to use Asavas like Aravindasava – 5 ml, mixed with 5 ml water, twice a day.
It can be used in children in a small dose of 1 gram twice a day after food for 5-10 days.
Can this be taken when the person is having proteinuria
Dear Hebbar Sir,
I have hyper acidity, gastritis and erosive duodenitis, heavy bloating and flatulence. I have been prescribed a proton pump inhibitor, pantoprazole by Gastroenterologist. Gastroscopy and culture didnt show H-Pylori infection or any inflammatory sign but only erosions. Same time I also suffer from ama dosha related diseases like joint pains, muscle spasm and fatigueness day time sluggishness, spine related pain (cervical and lumbar), sciatica, have elevated URIC ACID. no gout. Now I undergo ayurvedic treatment and take AMRUTHOTHARAM KASHAYAM, Cap CRQ and Shaddharana Gulika. Is my AMA related problem due to improper digestion, agnimandhyam??. Why I have so much of gastric problem then due to acidity? Is increased acidity means increased digestive power? I have been advised to take vaiswanarachurnam in luke warm water at bed time.
Thanks in advance for your kind reply at the earliest.
Can this chooran become addictive or dependent upon for bowel movements? Will it disturb normal and natural bowel movement? Is it safe for long term use?
No. But it is best to use this choorna only for 2 months time.
Can this powder become habitual/addictive/ dependent upon for bowel movements? If so, how long can one use it for?
