A classic powder, in a very small dose
Sitopaladi churna is a classical Ayurvedic powder of mishri (sugar), bamboo manna, long pepper, cardamom and cinnamon, often taken in honey for a scratchy throat. It is sold by many reputable makers and is widely used. It is not a treatment for infections, asthma or any chest disease.
Use only a pinch, as written on the pack, for a few days at most. It contains sugar, so those who manage blood sugar should ask a doctor. Buy from a reputable maker with a batch label. Skip it in pregnancy unless your doctor agrees, and do not give it to babies. Honey is not for babies under one year.
