Hi Rashmi, Eating too many medicines at the same time for various disorders without doctor’s guidance isn’t ideal and can be dangerous too! Please elaborate what health issues you have and which medications you are taking to help you better.

I am taking all medicine under doctor guidance Ashwagandhadi 1 tab twice daily Brahmi 1 tab twice Medhya Rasayan 10ml twice Liveon 1 tab twice Indukantha ghritam 10ml once Triphala tablet 2 tablet before bed

For neurological problems vertigo headache nerve weakness and a small liver problem And severe gastritis I am taking this medication for 6month does the body become medicine resistant?

Yes please take a break of at least 45 days and get yourself reassessed physically by an Ayurveda practitioner to switch to Medhya Rasayan & Indukanth Ghritham for a longer duration. These are Rasayanas and can be taken longer but based on your metabolism.

Hey there, I see you’re concerned about the potential of developing medicine resistance from taking Ayurvedic treatments long-term. It’s a question that pops up pretty often because people are curious if herbal remedies are like antibiotics, where resistance can happen. But here’s the thing: taking Ayurvedic medicines doesn’t quite lead to resistance the same way antibiotics do.

However, it’s something worth thinking about: are the current medicines still the right match for your constitution? In Ayurveda, everything revolves around your unique balance of doshas - Vata, Pitta, Kapha. You mentioned Vata-Pitta imbalances and heart, neurological issues. It’s crucial those remedies you’re taking still align with your ongoing condition. Sometimes our body needs adjustment, maybe the herbs and formulations did their part, or conditions evolved a bit.

Now, it’s critical not to self-adjust Ayurvedic meds without guidance. If you’ve been on them for 6 months, it’s a good time to consult an Ayurvedic practitioner. They could assess your current dosha state, agni (digestive fire), and overall wellbeing to see if the regimen needs a tweak.

And remember, things like diet and lifestyle—these play huge roles! If our food or daily habits aren’t in sync with what our body needs, medicine might feel less effective overtime. Consider a routine consultation with on your diet and lifestyle too, it’s all connected in Ayurveda.

So my advice? Don’t stress about resistance in this context, but do check-in regularly with your Ayurvedic doc to ensure your treatment plan is still on point. Maybe they suggest a small break, maybe an entirely different approach, who knows until you reassess? Take it step by step with expert guidance.
