Rajah Ayurveda Amruthotharam Kashayam can be a helpful choice for addressing prolonged cold symptoms by balancing your doshas, particularly if you’ve been feeling predominantly vata and kapha imbalances after your hiking excursion. This formulation is known to help boost immunity and assist the body in overcoming chronic fatigue and body aches, which are common with lingering viral infections.
To incorporate Amruthotharam Kashayam, take it as directed on the packaging, usually one tablespoon mixed with 50ml of warm water, twice a day before meals. Consistency is key, so try maintaining this routine for at least a couple of weeks to notice changes. Improvement often depends on individual body constitution and the severity of the symptoms, but signs of relief should typically appear after one to two weeks.
As for diet, avoid cold and heavy foods that increase kapha, like dairy and cold beverages. Favor freshly prepared, warm, and easy-to-digest meals; consider adding ginger, black pepper, turmeric and adequate fluids like warm water or herbal teas such as tulsi and mulethi, which complement the kashayam’s effects. Be cautious about mixing multiple herbal teas that might be overly stimulating or warm, as this can also cause digestive issues.
Regarding side effects, Amruthotharam Kashayam is generally safe, though some individuals might experience mild digestive discomfort or loose stools, especially if the digestive fire (agni) is weak. If you notice any unusual discomfort, it might be best to pause the kashayam and consult with a practitioner. Importantly, avoid taking additional over-the-counter cold medications concurrently without professional advice.
Since your cold recovery is of concern, if you experience escalating symptoms—like shortness of breath or a fever that won’t subside—seek immediate medical attention. Immediate risks should always be addressed, and Ayurveda, in this instance, is supporting your overall health journey.
