Vaidyaratnam Chandraprabha Gulika is traditionally used for balancing vata and kapha doshas, and it can support urinary health, digestion, and detoxification. Given the symptoms you’re experiencing, it might be that your agni (digestive fire) is weak or there is an imbalance in your digestive system. However, the lack of noticeable change with the tablets after a week could indicate that additional lifestyle or dietary changes might be needed alongside the Chandraprabha Gulika.
It’s worth considering these factors:
1. Diet: Begin by simplifying your diet. Avoid processed foods, heavy/oily dishes, and cold beverages, which can aggravate your symptoms. Focus on warm, freshly-cooked meals with digestible items like rice, cooked vegetables, and soups. Spices like ginger, cumin, and fennel can help stimulate digestion. You might also explore avoiding certain vata aggravating foods like beans and raw vegetables to see if that improves your condition.
2. Timing and Dosage: It’s possible that you could take Chandraprabha Gulika two times daily with lukewarm water before meals for optimal absorption. Consistency in timing is key, so try to take it approximately at the same times each day.
3. Lifestyle: Consider incorporating some gentle yoga or walking to help facilitate digestion. Pranayama or breathing exercises may also aid in calming vata dosha.
4. Consultation: If your symptoms persist, it’s always wise to have a proper consultation with a Siddha-Ayurveda physician to tailor a treatment plan specific to your prakriti and current condition.
Addressing both diet and lifestyle in conjunction with the right use of Chandraprabha Gulika can enhance its efficacy. Don’t forget to stay hydrated with warm water or herbal teas, which assist in digestion without putting additional stress on your stomach. If you still don’t see improvements, discuss with a healthcare provider to rule out other underlying issues.
