What Are the Possible Ayurvedic Medicine Side Effects and How to Avoid Them? - #14305
I have been exploring Ayurvedic medicine as a natural way to manage my health, but I recently read that some herbal formulations can cause side effects if not taken correctly. While Ayurveda is known for its holistic approach, I want to understand what are the possible Ayurvedic medicine side effects and how to prevent them. Some common concerns I came across include digestive discomfort from excessive consumption of Triphala, potential liver issues with long-term use of heavy-metal-based Bhasmas, allergic reactions to herbal ingredients, and increased body heat from potent formulations like Ashwagandha or Guggulu. Additionally, some people report interactions between Ayurvedic medicines and allopathic drugs. However, I am unsure how to determine safe dosages and avoid these risks. For those who have used Ayurvedic medicine, did you experience any side effects, discomfort, or unexpected reactions? How did you manage or prevent them? Would love insights into how to use Ayurvedic medicines safely and whether consulting an expert is necessary before starting herbal treatments.
