Hemoglobin and TSH are normal. I will do t3 and t4 test in coming months.
I have triphala powder, is it ok to take powder in warm water at night or should take tablet only .
Is there any replacement for mensokot tab, I live out of india and may not find it.
Also is ashokariahta same as dashmoolariahta?
Thriphala powder is totally fine, you can have 1tsp with ½glass of warm water.
EVECARE tablet(Himalaya) ,will you get this? (You can have in the same dose)
*Ashokarishtam and Dasamoolarishtam are totally different, the first one has the property of female hormonal regulation too.But of you didn’t have the option to get Ashokarishtam please do have Dasamoolarishtam because it has the property of VATA ANULOMANA , due to which it can also helps your problem to a limit .
