HELLO,
Based on what you shared- long standing diabetes, a recent strokes (paralysis on the right side), blood clot in the brain, and current use of warfarin + ecosprin - your situation requires very careful use of any herbal remedy, including panner phool
1) SAFETY OF PANNER PHOOL IN YOUR CASE Is panner phool water safe with your medicines -panner phool generally does NOT have known direct interactions with diabetes tablets or insulin -But there is uncertain interaction with warfarin, and anything that affects liver metabolism or clotting can be risky
THEREFORE= It is likely safe in small amounts , but you must monitor your INR (blood clotting test) regularly.
WHAT BENEFITS YOU NOTICED ARE REAL Panner phool is known in Ayurveda to - improve digestion - reduce constipation -mildly lower post-meal blood sugar - reduce inflammation So your observed improvement in constipation is consistent
2) RECOMMENDED AYURVEDIC WAY TO TAKE PANNER PHOOL If you are continuing panner phool, use the SAFE Dose
OPTION A= (best)= overnight infused water -take 5-7panner phool pods -soak in 1 glass (200-250ml) water overnight -drink the water in the morning on empty stomach - do NOT eat the soaked flowers This avoids strong dose and avoids digestive irritation
OPTION B= if using powder aAvoid strong dose due to your warfarin -take 250-300 mg (1/4 gm) only once a day after food (not 5 mg- that is too little to be effective)
Do not take panner phool twice a day. Once daily is enough
3) VERY IMPORTANT : BECAUSE YOU ARE ON WARFARIN Warfarin dose is affected by -herbs -digestion changes -diarrhea/ constipation -vitamin k changes -liver metabolism
Any herbal supplement may change INR
Please check INR within 1 week of starting panner phool and keep INR in the safe range your nephrologist advises
IF YOU NOTICE -bleeding gums -dark stool -nose bleed -unusal bruises -> stops immediately and contact your doctor
4) WHY CONSTIPATION HAPPENS IN DIABETES + INSULIN -Long term diabetes can cause diabetes autoimmune neuropathy -> slow bowel movement -many medications -low fiber -low water intake -less physical activity after paralysis Panner phool helps because it stimulates digestion
5) COMPLETE AYURVEDIC MANAGEMENT PLAN FOR YOU
A) FOR DIABETES
-AMLA + GILOY= 1 tsp amla powder + 1/2 tsp giloy in lukewarm water, daily morning =helps immunity and sugar control
-FENUGREEK SEEDS= soak 1 tsp overnight, drink water + eat seeds in morning- very safe even with insulin
DIET -since you have high carbohydrates -reduce wheat, rice, potatoes -replace with millets (bajra, jowar) and moong dal -avoid curd at night -avoid fried foods
B) FOR CONSTIPATION DAILY ROUTINE -drink warm water through the day -1 tsp ghee in warm milk at night
SAFE FORMULATION -TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp at bedtime in warm water =improves bowel movement, helps sugar metabolism
-ISABGOL= 2 tsp at night in warm water =very safe, helps smooth bowel
C) FOR STROKE RECOVERY Along with physiotherapy
INTENRALLY -BRAHMI VATI= 1 tab twice daily
EXTERNAL -GENTLE oil massage with warm sesame oil to affected side -followed by mild steam =helps nerve regeneration and muscle tone
MY RECOMMENDATIONS FOR YOU Here is the safest, most balanced approach -continue panner phool but only 5-7 flowers soaked overnight -Monitor INR after 1 week -Add Triphala or isabgol for safe constipation releif -reduce high card diet -continue physiotherapy -avoid starting multiple herbal medicines together
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
THANK YOU
DR. MAITRI ACHARYA
🌿 Paneer Phool: Benefits and Cautions in Your Case Paneer phool (Withania coagulans) is traditionally used in Ayurveda for: - Regulating blood sugar and supporting insulin sensitivity - Improving digestion and relieving constipation due to its mild laxative and anti-inflammatory properties - Reducing inflammation and supporting liver and kidney health
However, your case involves multiple critical medications and conditions if not properly taken with these medicines.
✅ If You Still Wish to Use Paneer Phool Safer method: Whole dried flowers soaked overnight - Dosage: Soak 5–7 dried paneer phool in a glass of water overnight. Drink the water in the morning on an empty stomach. - Avoid powder form for now—it’s more concentrated and harder to dose safely. - Monitor sugar levels daily and watch for signs of bleeding (bruising, gum bleeding, etc.)
Alternate Ayurvedic Medicines as per your conditions: 1.Diabecon DS tablets 2 tab twice daily with water before meals 2.Nisha Amalaki Churna 1 tsp twice daily with water after meals 3.Brahmi Ghrita 1 tsp in the morning with warm milk 4.Triphala churna 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water 5.Maha Vata Vidhwansan Ras 125 mg twice daily with water after meals
Paneer phool, also known as Indian Rennet or Withania Coagulans, is traditionally used in Ayurveda for managing diabetes and digestive issues. You’re looking into it’s benefits, especially for diabetes and its role in constipation, likely linked to your insulin use. However, given your medical history, it’s very important to take into account your complicated health status when incorporating any herbal treatment.
For diabetes, paneer phool can help regulate blood sugar levels by improving insulin sensitivity and pancreatic function. So, consuming paneer phool water on an empty stomach may help support your diabetes management, but shouldn’t replace any prescribed medication or medical treatment you’re currently on. It is crucial that you consult the diabetologist or your regular doctor before making any changes to avoid undesired interactions with your medications. Generally, soaking about 5-6 dried flowers in a glass of water overnight and drinking it in the morning on an empty stomach is common practice.
Regarding paneer phool’s effect on constipation, it might have a mild laxative effect due to its digestive enhancing properties, potentially beneficial for constipation induced by insulin use. If it’s already offering noticeable relief, then its use seems to be agreeing with your system. Just ensure that you’re staying hydrated, as fiber and water intake are both important for alleviating constipation.
Concerning the powder form, generally, 5 mg might be too less to have a noticeable impact. If advised by a healthcare professional to include the powder, when taken with lukewarm water after meals, it might aid in digestion and further support your blood sugar and bowel health.
Ensure regular check-ins with your healthcare provider to monitor your blood clotting and insulin sensitivity. Given your history of paralysis and blood clotting, it’s essential not to alter your regimen without medical guidance. Always report any new symptoms to your doctor immediately.
