what are the practical uses of samudra fen in ayurveda? need guidance - #1986

Anonymously

I recently bought a small packet of Samudra Fen from a local Ayurvedic store because the shopkeeper mentioned it’s good for respiratory issues. However, I can’t seem to find clear information online about how exactly to use it or what it’s really effective for. I’ve read a bit about its benefits for digestion and even skin health, but I’m unsure about the dosage or preparation method. Can someone explain the main uses of Samudra Fen in Ayurveda? Should it be consumed as a tea, or is it better applied topically for certain conditions? Also, are there any side effects I should be aware of, especially if taken regularly?

Doctors’ responses

Samudra Fen (commonly referred to as "Samudra Phena" or "Spuma Maris") is actually sea foam or cuttlefish bone in Ayurveda, traditionally used for its medicinal properties. It is different from herbal seeds or plant-based remedies. Uses in Ayurveda: Respiratory Health: Samudra Fen is valued for its expectorant and bronchodilatory effects. It helps in clearing phlegm, making it useful for respiratory conditions like asthma, bronchitis, and chronic cough. Digestive Health: It is known to have a cooling effect and can help soothe acid reflux, heartburn, and digestive discomfort. Skin Health: Often used in Ayurvedic formulations for skin conditions due to its ability to soothe irritation and reduce inflammation. How to Use: Internal Use: It is generally taken in powdered form (about 250 mg to 500 mg) mixed with honey or warm water. Dosage should be determined by an Ayurvedic practitioner. Topical Use: The powder can be made into a paste with rose water and applied to inflamed skin areas or rashes for its cooling effect. Precautions: Avoid use during pregnancy and without proper guidance, as it has potent effects and needs correct dosage. It may cause digestive discomfort if taken in excess. Please consult an Ayurvedic doctor for personalized advice and to ensure safe usage, especially for long-term use.
