what is the hindi name for caralluma fimbriata, and where can I find it? - #1984
Jaxon
I’ve been reading about Caralluma Fimbriata as a natural appetite suppressant and weight loss aid. However, when I tried asking for it in local Ayurvedic shops, they didn’t seem to recognize the English name. I’d like to know what it’s commonly called in Hindi so I can ask for it correctly. Can anyone tell me the Hindi name for Caralluma Fimbriata? Also, where is the best place to source it in India, and how should it be used for weight loss?

Caralluma Fimbriata is known in Hindi as "Makad Shingi" or sometimes "Ranshabar". It is a succulent plant traditionally used in India as a natural appetite suppressant and for enhancing endurance. In Ayurveda, it is valued for its ability to curb hunger and support weight management.
How It Works:
Appetite Suppressant: Caralluma Fimbriata is believed to act on the appetite control center in the brain, reducing feelings of hunger.
Metabolic Booster: It may help boost metabolism, aiding in weight loss when combined with a balanced diet and regular exercise.
How to Use:
Capsules or Powder: The most common form is either capsule or powdered extract. The typical dosage is 500 mg to 1,000 mg per day, taken before meals. Follow package instructions or consult an Ayurvedic practitioner for exact dosage.
Fresh Form: In some regions, the fresh plant is consumed raw or cooked, often added to chutneys or curries.
Where to Find It:
Ayurvedic Stores: You can ask for "Makad Shingi" or "Ranshabar" in local Ayurvedic shops. It may not always be available due to its seasonal nature, so it’s often easier to find in supplement form.
Online: Herbal supplements containing Caralluma Fimbriata are widely available online on platforms like Amazon India, Flipkart, and specialty Ayurvedic websites.
Precautions:
Consult a doctor if you are pregnant, breastfeeding, or have any chronic health issues.
It may cause mild digestive discomfort in some people, especially when starting out. Reduce dosage if you experience nausea or bloating.
For best results, combine its use with a balanced diet and regular exercise, and always follow up with an Ayurvedic practitioner for personalized guidance.

Caralluma Fimbriata is often known as 'Foupat' or 'Ransbhanti' in Hindi, though sometimes it might not be widely recognized by these names in every shop. Keep in mind that regional dialects could have different terms too. You might find better luck asking in herbal shops or those specializing in traditional tribal or folk remedies, as it's not as prominent in classical Ayurvedic text.
In India, larger cities might offer it in herbal or health shops, particularly those catering to Western trends in herbal remedies. Online platforms might also have it but always go for well-reviewed brands ensuring quality and purity.
As far as using it for weight loss, it’s typically taken as an extract or a supplement. Generally, 500 mg doses would be taken a few times a day, preferably before meals. But like anything in Ayurveda, it's not just about dosage. You’ll want to also look into your entire diet, lifestyle and whether this aligns with your prakriti (constitution). If you're trying to balance Kapha dosha, which is often related to weight gain, focus on light, warming foods and activities that support digestion and metabolism.
It’s essential to listen to how your body responds. Ayurveda always emphasizes personalized approaches– what works for one person might not work for another. Also, if you’ve any underlying health conditions (like thyroid issues or diabetes) you might want to chat with a healthcare professional first. That's a bit of a safety net to make sure this won't interact with medications or conditions you might have.
So while Caralluma can be a helpful tool, it's the whole lifestyle combo that'll probably get you the best results. Stay active, keep stress levels in check—these are things that go hand in hand with natural aids. If it feels overwhelming, maybe finding an Ayurvedic practitioner who can give more personalized advice could be a helpful next step.
