Dashmool Kwath, known in Ayurvda as a powerful herbal concoction, often recommended for various reproductive health issues, is a blend of ten roots. It’s been used for ages to ease menstrual discomfort and irregularities. Now, for your question: does it help with both pain relief and cycle regulation? YES. The blend is meant to balance Vata dosha, which when aggravated can cause painful irregular periods.
Here’s how to go about using it. You can find Dashmool Kwath in powder form, generally available at Ayurvedic stores or online. The usual way to prepare it is by boiling about 1 to 2 teaspoons of the powder in 2 cups of water until it’s reduced to half. Strain it, then drink. Best time? Morning, on an empty stomach or as per the consultation of an Ayurvedic practitioner. Also, If your stomach is sensitive, you might want to thin out the decoction or take with food to minimize discomfort. Always start with a small dose to see how your body reacts.
As for side effects, it’s generally well-tolerated, but since you’ve a sensitive stomach, watch for any signs of stomach upset. Avoid taking it if you’re experiencing severe gastrointestinal issues. It’s not a long-term solution in the sense of taking it forever, but it’s often used till symptoms improve. This usually takes 2-3 cycles to notice a significant change.
Combining it with ginger tea? Ginger is actually great for easing cramps, so it should be fine to use them together. However, avoid overdoing the ginger as it can further upset your stomach.
There’s no specific brand I can push you towards, but look for ones that are reputable and offer pure formulations, check reviews if you can. An Ayurvedic practitioner could guide you more on brands, too.
Adding other herbs isn’t advised without guidance since some combos can be complex. Of course, if things don’t improve or get worse, do consult with an Ayurvedic/medical practitioner.
