Thank you for sharing so openly. I want to be careful here because you’re only 17, underweight (34 kg), and already dealing with anxiety, sleep medication, digestive issues, and irregular appetite.
Suddhi Churna is not safe for you as: - Shuddhi Churna is a laxative/detoxifying blend. It can aggravate weakness, disturb electrolytes, and worsen abdominal discomfort if digestion is already fragile. - At your age and weight, repeated purgation can reduce strength and interfere with nutrient absorption. - Since you’re on sleep medication and have anxiety, adding strong purgatives may destabilize your system further.
Safer Ayurvedic approaches for your situation: 1.Ashwagandha capsules 1 cap twice daily with warm milk after meals 2.Shatavari capsules 1 cap twice daily with warm milk after meals 3.Hingwashtak churna 1/2 tsp twice daily with lukewarm water before meals 4.Jeerkarishta 15 ml with 15 ml water twice daily after meals
Dietary focus - Warm, soft, easy‑to‑digest foods: khichdi, moong dal soup, rice with ghee. - Avoid cold, raw, spicy, or heavy foods. - Small, frequent meals instead of forcing large portions.
Lifestyle - Gentle yoga (like Anulom Vilom pranayama) for anxiety. - Regular sleep routine, calming evening rituals.
Hello Thank you for sharing your concerns. You are very underweight (17 years, 34 kg), and suffering from anxiety, poor appetite, and digestive sensitivity. Such conditions require careful, safe treatment — not a hard purgative powder.
✅ AYURVEDIC UNDERSTANDING
Your symptoms depict 👉 Vata aggravation + Mandagni + Manasik stress Anxiety + low appetite = Vata imbalance Bloating / discomfort after food = Weak digestive fire (Mandagni) Underweight = Vata + poor nutrition absorption
Your body right now is of a sensitive nature and has been depleted. Therefore, a strong herbal mixture like Shuddhi Churna is NOT suitable for you.
✅Can You Take Shuddhi Churna? No — Not recommended at all. Reasons? Shuddhi Churna is generally composed of: Haritaki Trikatu Hing Strong laxatives
The effects due to a Shuddhi Churna on an underweight, Vata-aggravated teenager: Lose stools Increase of weakness Increase of anxiety Stomach pain Dehydration Appetite deterioration Not at all safe for your age, weight, and mental condition.
✅ What You SHOULD Do: A Safe & Gentle Ayurvedic Plan
✅INTERNAL MEDICATION
👉Anxiety + Sleep + Appetite — For Anxiety + Sleep + Appetite Manasamitra Vati (Plain) 1 tablet at bedtime Drakshasava 10 mL + 10 mL water after lunch & dinner
Both are good for the appetite and calming the mind, and they do not have a sedative effect.
👉For Digestion (Gentle, non-irritating) Dadimashtak Churna — ½ tsp after food Shatavari Kalpa — 1 teaspoon with warm milk once daily
👉For Appetite building Ashwagandha lehyam — 1 tsp at night
✅DIET MODIFICATION
Do not force yourself to eat. Better to: Most nourishing foods for you: Moong dal khichdi Ghee rice Dal + jeera rice Ripe banana Pomegranate Warm milk with Shatavari Homemade soups (moong, pumpkin, carrot, spinach) Ghee: 1–2 teaspoons per day
❌Avoid: Cold drinks Coffee Chips, packaged snacks Fasting Skipping breakfast
✅ LIFESTYLE MODIFICATION
10-15 minutes evening walk daily Slow deep breathing: 5 minutes morning + 5 minutes night Keep a regular sleep pattern Do not use the screen 1 hour before sleep
✅ Will your appetite return?
Surely — with a gentle Vata-pacifying treatment. Normally, your appetite returns within 2–4 weeks, and anxiety diminishes progressively.
👉 Shuddhi Churna should NOT be used. It will make your situation worse.
Your body requires nourishment, calming, and gentle digestion support instead of strong purgative herbs.
Wishing you a good health😊
Warm Regards Dr Snehal Vidhate

Using Shuddhi Churna for digestive issues might help, but it’s important to consider individual factors, especially since you also have anxiety and low weight. Shuddhi Churna, known for its detoxification properties, may aid in cleansing your digestive system. However, at your age and weight, it’s essential to approach with caution. Ayurvedically speaking, the lack of appetite and digestive discomfort suggests an imbalance in your Agni (digestive fire) and potentially a Vata-Pitta dosha imbalance.
Firstly, if you want to try Shuddhi Churna, start with a very small dose—perhaps 1/4 teaspoon—once a day, with warm water at night. Monitor how your body responds before increasing the amount. It’s crucial not to overuse, as it could aggravate Vata, which might be contributing to your anxiety.
Diet wise, focus on warming, easy-to-digest, freshly cooked foods like kichari or spiced oatmeal. Incorporating ginger tea or a bit of cumin and coriander in your meals can be beneficial for enhancing digestive fire. Avoid raw, cold, and processed foods, as these can be heavy on digestion.
For anxiety, try daily practices like deep breathing or gentle yoga, which can help pacify Vata dosha. Establishing a consistent routine can support both your digestion and mental well-being.
Consulting with an Ayurvedic practitioner in person would be ideal. They can assess your unique constitution and suggest a more tailored approach, possibly involving more specific herbs, oils, or therapies. It’s vital that any treatment, including Shuddhi Churna, complements your existing medications. Keep your healthcare providers informed about any ayurvedic supplement you’re considering—never substitute prescribed medication without discussing with a doctor.
