Frequently asked questions
Can I make this churna with anupana every day?
- Usually no. Keep home use short unless a BAMS doctor designs a longer plan for milk. Daily megadoses are not traditional kitchen practice.
Is this safe in pregnancy or for children?
- Do not self-medicate in pregnancy, while breastfeeding, or in children unless a physician and a BAMS doctor both agree. Many herbs that are fine in food amounts are not fine as concentrated preparations.
Does this cure disease?
- No. It is a traditional home preparation with traditional benefit language only. It is not a substitute for diagnosis or prescribed treatment.
