Product Description of Zandu Shanka Vati

Zandu Shanka Vati is a time-honored Ayurvedic tablet, revered since classical times for its remarkable ability to soothe the digestive fire—or Agni, as we say. It’s made by blending traditional conch shell ash (Shankha Bhasma) with an array of salts and herbs that clever old bhishak (physicians) used to recommend whenever someone complained of persistent acidity, burning sensation in chest, or poor appetite. Personally, I’ve seen it bring relief within days, though it’s not an instant miracle cure, more like a steadfast companion for your tummy’s well-being.

Each tablet carries the essence of minerals and botanicals, processed in a precise, ancient way. It works on two levels: first, it calms the overactive Pitta dosha that causes acid overload; and second, it stabilizes Vata, reducing gas and discomfort. People often take it before meals, but sometimes after too—depends on your own routine. Honestly, I sometimes forget and take it whenever I remember, and it still seems to help! Remember, it’s best used under the guidance of an Ayurvedic practitioner, yet many find it safe and easy for daily use. If you’ve struggled with low digestion power, loss of appetite or simply want to keep acidity at bay, Zandu Shanka Vati might just become your go-to remedy.
