  1. manish mehta says:

    Myquestion is to doctor that major ayurveda doctor says that taking avipattikar is free of any side effect it can be taken without any harm but u have mentioned some of its side effects. i am confused?

    • Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu) says:

      In people with sensitive stomach, or for people with high tendency for lose motion, Avipattikara Churna causes diarrhoea.
      For most of other people, who do not have any sensitive stomach issue, in normal dose, it does not cause any such side effects.
      People with diabetes need to consult their doctor before taking this medicine, as it contains sugar as an ingredient.
      Hope it is clear now?

  2. dr. my some hair is white , so i uses this , it good to reduced to pitta

    • Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu) says:

      There are medicines and treatments for white hair problem. This medicine alone might not help. Please consult an Ayurveda doctor directly.

  3. Does this aggravate Pitta like Trikatu does? Or is it safe to take when there is Pitta excess in the body?

    Also, in which cases should it be taken before meals and during meals respectively?

    • Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu) says:

      Because it contains a good amount of sugar, the Pitta increasing effect of other herbs get nullified.
      If it is administered to treat diseases related to large intestines, it is usually advised after food. If it is for diseases of stomach, duodenum and small intestine, usually it is given before food.
