  1. Sir, is this product useful for muscle development? I bought this product by reading in ayurvedic tips for muscle development in Internet. But not used yet. Please give your suggestion.

    • Hi Naren, it can be very dangerous to just rely on online information on product decision. Please consult an Ayurveda doctor for right advice. It is not useful in muscle development.

    • But keep in mind, Swarna bhasma is not used as specific medicine to treat diabetes. It is only used as supportive medicine, in combination with other specific anti diabetic Ayurvedic medicine.
      It helps to improve immunity, and reduce chances of infection, in diabetic patients.
      It rejuvenates tissues of pancreas and kidney, it has anti aging benefits.

    • Iska use maine upar, article me explain kiya hai. Diabetes me, iska yahi ek medicine use karne se faiyda kam hota hai. Iska doosre herbal medicines ke saat combination me use karne se jyada faiyda hai.

  13. Thanks for the reply. When I stop consumption, would surely stop by reducing dosage.
    Pl also advise me whether it is safe to consume this as presently my blood sugar is normal and I’m worried that on withdrawal of the medicine, it may trigger sugar imbalance in body or any other side effects. Or is it that a healthy person can consume these rasa preparations.
    Please advice.
