Varadi Kashayam is an Ayurvedic medicine for weight loss. Varadi Kashayam is relatively higher in efficiency than Varanadi Kashayam.

dear Dr.can ayurvedic treatment cure renal failure.
Dear Dr Prashanth,
I personally am treating a couple of cases, who are undergoing dialysis.. the results have been encouraging.. the creatinine levels are gradually falling down and patient’s overall health parameters are on a good course now. So, I can not really assure that Ayurveda can cure renal failure. I suppose, it has to be decided on case to case basis.
regards
is this good for hyperthyroid?
Can not be said so. A comprehensive treatment plan might be required. This one can alone can not be said as the medicine for hyperthyroidism.
Varanadi can be taken for ulcer ??
It is not usually prescribed for ulcer treatment. consulting a doctor for your health issue seems a better idea. regards
Hello Sir,
One of the Doc prescribed “Prakruti’s Varunadi Kashaya” for kidney stone. This kashaya is over we got another bottol but not the same make. It’s Nagarjuna’s Varannadi Kashayam” This the same and how does this benifit.
Thank You
You have bought Varanadi Kashayam from two different companies. The first one was Prakruti remedies, and the second one was from Nagarjuna. This is fine. No problem. The herb – Varuna – crataeva nurvala is a potent diuretic. Means, it helps to flush the kidney and the bladder, by producing more urine. This helps to easy breakdown and expulsion of small stones present in the kidney or bladder. The other ingredient – Aerua lanata is also helpful in breaking down stones into small pieces, so as to assist in easy expulsion through urine.
The supportive ingredients such as Darbha, Pathya, Bilwa (Bael) – act as anti inflammatory.
Hence, for all these reasons, Varunadi Kashaya is also used in the treatment of renal stones by some Ayurvedic doctors.
Thank You very much Doc.. this information was very very usefull. The website has lots of good info.
Welcome

This can be used for the treatment of obesity, but for a complete analysis of cause and for a complete consultation, it is better to consult an Ayurvedic doctor directly.
I have a box of capsules Varanaadi Kashayam 2006 never opened. There is no expiration date. Have expired?

Better to dispose it. Since it is almost five years.
Dear Sir,
Does this medicine has any side effects, if taken in the long term. Typically how long should you take this
Generally no side effects. The period of time has to be decided by your doctor.
Hi Dr,
Is Varandadi Kwatham and Varanadi Kashayam same?
Varandadi Kwatham is for what treatment ?? Does it have any side effects.

Both are one and the same. terms Kwatham and kashayam are synonyms. read a related article – http://easyayurveda.com/2010/05/19/confusing-ayurvedic-medicine-name/

It will be better if you consult an Ayurvedic doctor directly.
Is this varanadi kashyam for sinusitis(without infection) and cough also?
It is rarely used by some doctors for sinusitis and cough out of experience. But it is not indicated for that purpose.
My stomach is blotted after taking the above mentioned tablets.. and i have a burning sensation. Please help. Thanx in advance
Better to consult the doctor who prescribed it. Usually it does not have such side effect.
hi doctor, your blog is highly informative. am veena from cochin. am 33 year old. i am under Hormone replacement Therapy for the past 8 years. am married. recently i have noticed that i am gainng weight. for the past 6 months i gained almost 8 kilos. someone told about varanadi kashayam and i bought it yesterday. but when i checked your blog i learnt about varadi kashayam. which should i have. according to the shop owner the dosage was 15ml kashayam in 30 ml boiled cool water with a teaspoon of honey. could you please suggest what to do.
Both Varadi and Varanadi kashayam are used for weight loss.
You may go with the said dosage in the label. But it is always better to consult a doctor, rather than going for self medication
