Dear Dr.Janardhan. Have you done any research on the usage of Amrita (Guduchi) or Amtira Satva specially on Nephrotic Syndrome cases in childrens or are you aware of such research on this specific subject ? Can you share with your readers
Dr J V Hebbar MD(Ayu)
Dear Manjunath Acharya, I know that Guduchi is used in the treatment of Nephrotic Syndrome. But I am not aware of any research work done specifically with Guduchi Satva in this disease.
