    • Is Sukumar kashaya required to be taken if already taking Ashokarishta for amenorrhoea that is skanty and delayed menstrual cycles at abot age 28?

      • Ashokarishta is actually used as a uterine tonic. But it is traditionally indicated to stop excessive bleeding rather than to treat amenorrhoea (Reference: Bhaishajya ratnavali). Sukumar kashaya is again used in the treatment of pain during menstruation. So the combination is rarely used in the treatment of Amenorrhoea. I suppose, it is better to consult an Ayurvedic doctor for proper medicines rather than self medication. Regards – Dr Hebbar.

  3. Can sukumaram Kashayam be used for for the treatment of skin allergy. If not pl. advice treatment for air borne contact dermetitis

    • Most of the Ayurvedic medicine usage lncluding Sukumaram kashayam is dependant on how the Ayurvedic doctor uses it to treat a particular condition. Hence, though there is no direct reference of usage of Sukumaram kashayam in the treatment of skin allergy, your doctor might be right in prescribing it to you. It depends on his assessment.
