Can I take chyawanprash with milk every day? - #10427

It sounds like you're dealing with a pretty challenging situation. Low energy coupled with digestive issues can really disrupt life. Alright, let’s dive into the wonders of chyawanprash. Chyawanprash with milk can indeed be a potent combo, rich in benefits for energy & immunity, it's like an Ayurvedic elixir. The milk acts as a medium that helps in carrying the nutrients further into the body - that's why it often gets recommended. When it comes to digestion, though, it's bit of a mixed bag. Chyawanprash is unique in how it's processed in your system. Its primary ingredients can help boost digestive fire (agni), but combining it with milk isn't always suggested for everyone, especially before bed. If you want to give it a shot, start slow. A teaspoon of chyawanprash in warm milk (dairy or non-dairy) in the evening is a good starting point. About half a cup of warm cow's milk or goat's milk can complement it well. If dairy isn't your thing, almond milk is also nice alternative. Watch how your body feels with this and adjust accordingly. Now, whether to have it at night or morning depends on your prakriti (body type) and daily routine. Some people get the best energy boost taking it in the morning on an empty stomach, while others prefer it at night for a calmer digestion. I suggest trying in evening if you find it too stimulating during the day. Considering you've had bloating and constipation, listen to your digestion. If discomfort grows, you might need adjust either the time you take it or consider other remedies. Also, if digestion is sensitive, taking chyawanprash might be easier in conjunction with cleansing warm drinks or light meals. Watch for any imbalance signs - heating body or increased mucus (kapha dosha spike) might require reevaluation. If lactose intolerance isn’t an issue, watch for any changes. The goal is rejuvenate without causing added issues. Keep an eye out and remember: Ayurveda is about balance. Keep diet light, avoid overly cold or raw foods, and stay hydrated. If you're feeling off at any point, seek advice from a professional. It’s all about finding what fits right with you and your unique constitution!
