Since you’ve only been taking Nishamalaki Churna, CP Vati, Navaka Guggulu, and Phalatrikadi/possibly similar Vati for 1–3 days, it is normal that you haven’t noticed much change yet.

Taking medicines regularly and following the advised diet is important for results. —Diet & lifestyle suggestions Avoid fried, oily, very spicy, and processed foods. Eat meals at regular times. Drink adequate warm water throughout the day. Take a 20–30 minute walk daily if your health permits. Get adequate sleep. ----What digestive issues are you having (constipation, gas, bloating, acidity, abdominal pain, etc.)? ----What is your age and gender? ----Are these medicines being taken for diabetes, obesity, fatty liver, or another condition?

Since you have started these Ayurvedic medicines only yesterday, it is too early to judge their effectiveness. Most Ayurvedic formulations work gradually by improving metabolism, digestion, urinary function, and overall balance, so noticeable benefits may take a few weeks to appear. To assess whether the medicines are working, monitor the following: Improvement in urinary symptoms such as reduced frothiness and better urine flow. Better digestion with less bloating, heaviness, gas, or indigestion. Improved energy levels and overall sense of well-being. Better control of blood sugar levels if you are monitoring them regularly. Improvement in lipid profile and other laboratory parameters on follow-up testing. For your condition, objective tests are as important as symptoms. Repeat blood sugar tests, HbA1c, kidney function tests, urine examination, and lipid profile as advised by your physician to evaluate progress. Along with the medicines, dietary and lifestyle modifications are essential. Continuing a high-carbohydrate diet may reduce the benefits of treatment. Try to follow a diabetic-friendly diet, avoid excessive sweets and refined carbohydrates, and engage in regular physical activity. At present, since you have taken the medicines for only 1–3 days and have no side effects, I would advise continuing them as prescribed and reviewing your symptoms after 2–4 weeks. The combination of symptom improvement and follow-up investigations will provide the best indication of whether the treatment is helping
