Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Usually eye floaters are quite common and no need to worry. But if you are seeing eye floaters all the time, or if there is any blindness issue, then consulting an eye doctor looks a better idea. I really doubt if Kaishora guggulu can help with this condition.
Aekta Bhatt
Hello Sir,
I want to know that is there any side effect of kaisora guggula?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
There are no side effects with the prescribed dose.
In a very high dose, than prescribed, it may worsen gastritis. But it is just a temporary side effect.

sir,
please let me know if kaishore guggul cures corn on feet.I have been advised by a doctor to take this medicine 3 times a day for one month.

The doctor might have had his experience in treating corn with kaishora Guggulu.Please go with his advice. Regards

ashik narayan
Sir ,
what s d word meaning of kaishora?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Kaishora is derived from Kishora. Meaning, young. This helps to make the body young, it rejuvenates, etc.
Pari
Sir,
Can This edicine cure Hormonsal Acne?
If Not please tell me which wyurvedic medicine can cure it.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Usually it is not administered with milk. But if your doctor has advised it with milk, then there should be some good reason.
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Please go ahead as per the suggestion of your Ayurveda doctor.
Generally, this medicine is good for long term use (2 – 3 months).
Gaurav
Is it helpful to take Kaishore Guggulu for blood purification purposes? For example, how does it compare to taking Hamdard safi?
Gaurav
Also, is this generally safe to take without doctor’s recommendation?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Excluding children, pregnant and lactating mothers, anyone else can take this safely for 15 days. But as a general note, why try with some medicine without consulting a doctor?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
It depends on the disease process involved.
If it is purely a skin disorder involving blood, Safi could be the choice.
If it involves Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa, Meda and Asthi (any 2 – 3 of these), It makes sense to go for Kaishore Guggulu.
Gaurav
Thank you, very useful to know this. How does Kaishore Guggulu compare with Triphala Guggulu for Rasa, Rakta, Mamsa and Meda cleaning and rejuvenation?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Wrote an article about it. Read it here – https://www.easyayurveda.com/2014/04/27/difference-triphala-guggulu-kaishore-guggulu/
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Hi, Not only Kottakkal, but companies like AVN conduct heavy metal analysis before exporting Ayurvedic products. Moreover, some Ayurvedic products contain certain heavy metals by design, which are used after purification procedures as told in traditional Ayurveda textbooks.
Claire A.
If some Ayurvedic Herbs have metals by design, then are those metals discovered and removed during heavy metal analysis? If so, then wouldn’t that make the herb useless? What herb do you suggest for lead poisoning?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
I do not think any herb has heavy metal by design. If the soil in which the herb is grown, is contaminated with heavy metals, then only, in very minor quantities, herb might get some heavy metals. From India, whatever the Ayurveda products are legally exported, they all undergo mandatory heavy metal test. Hence, nothing to worry about.
For lead poisoning, it really depends on the mode of lead exposure. Generally speaking, a Panchakarma detox therapy, along with chelation therapy, calcium, Iron and zinc supplementation should work good.

Dr Hebbar, if I was prescribed Kaishora Guggulu (crushed) 2-2-2 after food with hot water and Sudarshana Ghana Vati, 1-0-1 after food with warm water, how is it possible to combine them? Should I take Kaishora Guggulu with hot water, then wait some time (15?30? minutes) and take Sudarshana Ghana Vati with warm water? (I have no opportunity to ask the doctor who prescribed it). Thank you for your help!
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Hi, you can take both of them together. No need of any time gap between them.
V
but I thought that hot/warm water difference for each of them was important?
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Hot water can be had with kaishora guggulu. Hence the advice to take it together with hot water.
If you wish to stick to your doctor’s advice, please maintain a gap of 20 minutes between the two medicines. Kaishora guggulu first.
