What are the uses of Chitrakadi Vati? - #21569

I've been hearing a lot about chitrakadi vati uses lately, and honestly, I’m quite curious. A friend who's super into Ayurveda was raving about it, saying it helps with digestion issues and even weight loss. I mean, I’ve been struggling with my metabolism and bloating for ages!! It's like no matter what I eat, I feel heavy and uncomfortable. I sometimes get weird gas pains, like they just won't go away 😩. So, I looked up some info on chitrakadi vati uses, but it's still kinda unclear to me. Does it really help in boosting metabolism? Or is it more for digestive health? I feel like I've tried everything—herbal teas, diet changes, even probiotics! I got a bottle of chitrakadi vati from my local store but haven’t started any serious regimin with it yet. I mean, should I take it with food? Or on an empty stomach? And how long does it usually take to see results if it’s effective? Also, a part of me is worried about side effects, you know? Like, I read somewhere that it can be too strong for some, and what if I end up feeling worse instead of better. If I could just find something that really works, it would be amazing. I need something that fits with my busy life but also helps me get rid of this uncomfortable tummy bloating. I guess I'm just looking for real experience with chitrakadi vati uses from anyone who has tried it. Do you feel like it actually helped? Did you notice any changes in your body or digestion? I want to know if the hype around chitrakadi vati uses is justified or if it’s just another fad. Thanks in advance for any insights! Really appreciate it.
