    • It is not useful on external application, even if it is used for massage by mixing with other ingredients.
      I have seen many quacks using this as a technique to steal money from many patients. Do not believe in this.

  8. Hi, I do not think it is a good medicine combination.
    Please consult a qualified Ayurveda doctor directly for treatment.
    Massage etc treatments, which are way cheaper are really effective.

    • Always believe in qualified AYurveda doctors. Never believe in these types of thieves and robbers. If you have the contact details of the person, inform police about him. He is a thief.
      Both are not useful in you daughter’s case. For a total of 21000 rupees, you can get good quality treatment in any Ayurveda center.

  12. Hello Sir,

    My father suffered clot in the brain twice. He is undergoing medication for neuro and also treating him with Ayurveda from a good hospital.
    We met a stranger on the street who asked us to use the following remedy:
    1 lt coconut oil + 500 ml Til Oil + 250 ml Almond oil mixed with ealaichi + rose petals + neem leaves.
    Then she asked us to mix 5 gms of Swarna Bhasma, 5 gms of Heera bhasma and 3 other bhasmas into the mixture and apply it behind my father’s neck.

    Is this going to work? As these medicines and the quantities that she is saying will cost more than 60,000 INR and I want to be sure before investing so much as my father is already going through very expensive medication.

    Thanks,
    Joy
