Ah, you’re diving into the whole Jalodarari Ras bit for ascites, I see. It’s kind of a classic in Ayurvedic circles for fluid retention issues. Let’s tackle your questions one by one, okay?
Now, Jalodarari Ras is meant to help with that water retention to ease the bloating somewhat, but the results are not usually overnight or super quick. Two weeks might feel long, but with Ayurveda, especially for conditions like ascites, patience is key. It’s approach is more about gradual balance and healing, not just a quick fix.
And about the salt thing—absolutely, it’s crucial to cut back on sodium since it can cause more fluid retention. It’s not just table salt though, watch out for processed stuff too, those hidden salts sneak up on ya. Foods with natural diuretics like cucumber, celery, or a bit of lemon might help (if they’re okay with your doc).
Feeling extra tired is something to watch. Jalodarari Ras is a mineral-based formulation, heavy on metals, so it can have side effects if overused or unsuitable to your prakriti (constitution). It’s advised to stick with your doc for guidance, maybe they can adjust the dose or something. It’s best to not self-medicate or make quick fixes without them in the loop.
Long-term use needs caution; it’s strong medicine. Don’t hesitate to check in with your healthcare provider if you’re worried about the duration of usage. They’ll know more about your specific case and might suggest complementary therapies. Like, Triphala can be supportive for digestion if that’s part of the problem, but again, best to clear everything before adding anything new.
Stay in touch with both the energetic (Pitta, Vata, Kapha) side and the practical parts of Ayurveda. It’ll get clearer as you tweak and adjust, and as always, keep your doctor in the loop for top-notch care.
