What Are the Benefits of Using Herbs Plus in My Daily Routine? - #21778

Ava

I am really curious about this whole Herbs Plus thing. So, a little backstory: I’ve been dealing with some annoying digestion issues for a while now, sometimes my stomach feels like a circus, and I'm tired of going to doctors who just wanna prescribe me somthing without really solving the problem. A friend mentioned Herbs Plus after I kept whining about my bloating and occasional gas issues (ugh... so embarrassing!). They said it's this awesome blend of herbal remedies that could really help with my gut health, but I'm kinda skeptical, y’know? Like, can a bunch of herbs really make a difference? I looked it up and saw that a lot of people rave about how Herbs Plus has helped em with everything from boosting their metabolism to reducing symptoms of IBS. I mean, I want to believe it will help me too, but how do I know which herbs to focus on or how to mix these herbal remedies right? Sometimes I feel overwhelmed with all these products that claim they work miracles. Also, I’ve read that not all herbs are created equal, so how do you pick the right blend? Are there any particular types of herbs in the herbs plus that work wonders that you guys would recommend? I guess what I'm asking is, what’s your personal experience with herbs plus? Did it actually improve your digestion, or was it just another one of those hype things that didn’t actually do much? If I start using it – how long should I wait to start feeling a difference? I really want to get my gut health on track and not feel all heavy and uncomfortable after eating! Also, just to throw it out there, if anyone has tried herbs plus with something else like a specific diet or routine, I’d love to hear about that too! I’m all about combining different methods to really kick this digestive issue in the butt. Like, is there a particular recipe or suggestion in using herbs plus for someone newbie like me? Any tips or advice would totally make my day, thanks a bunch!!!

Doctors' responses

Hey,A lot of people deal with exactly what you’re describing: bloating, gas, that heavy, circus-in-your-belly feeling—and it is frustrating when all you get from doctors are prescriptions without real solutions.

About Herbs Plus: It’s essentially a blend of digestive-supportive herbs, and while different versions exist, many include ingredients like: Triphala,Fennel,Ginger,Peppermint,Ajwain (carom seeds) These herbs can work—if they’re high-quality and used consistently. Unlike meds that might give you instant relief but no long-term fix, herbs usually work gradually, healing your gut lining, improving enzyme production, and balancing gut flora. You might feel a difference in 7–21 days, especially if your diet is proper.

Note- keep yourself well hydrated.

I didn’t tried herb plus. Is it a medicine So I can’t comment on the medicine which I don’t know. You can some classical ayurvedic medicine which is useful for digestive systems. But first of all you have to monitor your diet. What food you are taking and what you should avoid. Eat balanced diet Avoid sour spicy oily cold foods Simple triphala churna half spoon with warm water two times a day after meals will be enough

Herbs Plus, with its blend of Ayurvedic herbs, can indeed propel your digestive health journey, focusing on balancing your doshas and fueling your agni, or digestive fire. The idea isn’t that it works like magic overnight, but rather that these herbs address the root causes of your digestive discomfort over time. As you’ve hinted, not all herbs are made equally; so choosing ones aligned to your unique constitution is key.

For digestion, Triphala is one often recommended staple in Ayurveda - it consists of three fruits - Amalaki, Bibhitaki, and Haritaki, which can help regulate your digestive process, reducing bloating and gas naturally. It could be a valuabel part of your regimen. Another beneficial herb could be Ginger, known for enhancing digestive fire and speeding up metabolism. You just need a small pinch with warm water before meals it provides excellent support. And there’s Fenugreek, which may soothe your gut lining.

Start with small doses, as herbs generally take weeks, sometimes 4-6 weeks to exhibit noticeable effects, patience is part of the process. Keep an eye on how your body responds, and adjust as needed. The individual response to herbs can vary based on your current body constitution and dosha imbalance.

Adding a routine with mindful dietary practices amplifies the benefits - like eating at the same time daily, mindful chewing, avoiding cold foods. Ayurvedic diets often mes into a more sattvic balance, focusing on easy-to-digest, fresh foods that support digestive health. Avoid processed food and drinks that might deteriorate your agni.

Combining the Herbal blend like Herbs Plus with yoga techniques, like pranayama - breath control practices, can enhance digestion by relaxing the nervous system, making sure your gut is ready to digest optimally.

Better than just diving into Herbs Plus blindly, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner, as they’d provide insights into the underlying dosha imbalances causing your symptoms, tailoring a regimen to you specifically. They’d put together a more tailored herbal concoction based on thorough analysis.

Lastly, keep an open line to your healthcare provider if things persist, to ensure there’s no underlying medical condition that might be overlooked. Balancing both Ayurvedic and modern perspectives could nudge your digestive health in the right direction, helping you feel lighter and more comfortable after meals.

Dr. Janvi Dhera
I am a doctor who completed CCH and CGO from Wadia hospital, and that training gave me exposure not just in theory but also in handling patients with very diverse needs. Over time I have treated many cases of chronic skin conditions, gut related disorders and also anorectal issues like piles, fissure and similar complaints. Each case felt different, no two patients respond the same way, and I learnt how to adapt treatment according to prakriti, diet habits, stress levels. Skin problems always catch attention first — psoriasis, eczema, acne that stays for years — but I understood that they often start from inside, from digestion or blood impurities. Gut issues like acidity, constipation, IBS are also common in my practice, and here small corrections in food timing or herbs can change a lot. Anorectal cases, especially piles and fissure, are painful both physically and mentally for patients, so I try to bring a treatment plan that is safe, non-invasive when possible, and focused on long term relief not just temporary fixes. Working with such variety of disorders also taught me patience. Some patients want fast results, but Ayurveda needs time to clean the root cause. I explain them carefully, sometimes repeating many times, that slow healing is stronger healing. Building that trust is important. My approach is always to combine herbal formulations, diet advice, and lifestyle correction with procedures when required, to ensure balance is restored and maintained. For me, Ayurveda is not a set of ready remedies but a flexible science that adapts to each person. Whether it’s skin, gut or anorectal problems, my focus stays on listening, understanding and guiding patients with clarity, honesty and steady support.

Dr. Maitri Bhavesh Kumar Acharya
I am Dr. Maitri, currently in my 2nd year of MD in Dravyaguna, and yeah, I run my own Ayurvedic clinic in Ranoli where I’ve been seeing patients for 2 years now. Honestly, what pulled me into this path deeper is how powerful herbs really are—when used right. Not just randomly mixing churnas but actually understanding their rasa, virya, vipaka etc. That’s kinda my zone, where textbook knowledge meets day-to-day case handling. My practice revolves around helping people with PCOD, acne, dandruff, back pain, stiffness in knees or joints that never seem to go away. And I don’t jump to giving a long list of medicines straight away—first I spend time figuring out their prakriti, their habits, food cycle, what triggers what… basically all the small stuff that gets missed. Then comes the plan—herbs (single or compound), some diet reshuffling, and always some lifestyle nudges. Sometimes they’re tiny, like sleep timing. Sometimes big like proper seasonal detox. Being into Dravyaguna helps me get into the depth of herbs more confidently. I don’t just look at the symptom—I think okay what guna will counter this? Should the drug be snigdha, ushna, tikta? Is there a reverse vipaka that’ll hurt the agni? I ask these questions before writing any combo. That’s made a huge diff in outcomes. Like I had this case of chronic urticaria that would flare up every week, and just tweaking the herbs based on sheetala vs ushna nature... helped calm the system in 3 weeks flat. Not magic, just logic. I also work with women who are struggling with hormonal swings, mood, delayed periods or even unexplained breakouts. When hormones go haywire, the skin shows, digestion slows, and mind gets foggy too. I keep my approach full-circle—cleansing, balancing, rejuvenating. No quick fixes, I tell them early on. What I’m hoping to do more of now is make Ayurveda feel practical. Not overwhelming. Just simple tools—ahara, vihara, aushadha—used consistently, with some trust in the body’s own healing. I’m still learning, still refining, but honestly, seeing people feel in control of their health again—that’s what keeps me rooted to this.

Dr. Sara Garg
I am someone who believes Ayurveda isn’t just some old system — it’s alive, and actually still works when you use it the way it's meant to be used. My practice mostly revolves around proper Ayurvedic diagnosis (rogi & roga pariksha types), Panchakarma therapies, and ya also a lot of work with herbal medicine — not just prescribing but sometimes preparing stuff myself when needed. I really like that hands-on part actually, like knowing where the herbs came from and how they're processed... changes everything. One of the things I pay a lot of attention to is how a person's lifestyle is playing into their condition. Food, sleep, bowel habits, even small emotional patterns that people don't even realize are affecting their digestion or immunity — I look at all of it before jumping to treatment. Dietary therapy isn’t just telling people to eat less fried food lol. It’s more about timing, combinations, seasonal influence, and what suits their prakriti. That kind of detail takes time, and sometimes patients don’t get why it matters at first.. but slowly it clicks. Panchakarma — I do it when I feel it's needed. Doesn’t suit everyone all the time, but in the right case, it really clears the stuck layers. But again, it's not magic — people need to prep properly and follow instructions. That's where strong communication matters. I make it a point to explain everything without dumping too much Sanskrit unless they’re curious. I also try to keep things simple, like I don’t want patients feeling intimidated or overwhelmed with 10 things at once. We go step by step — sometimes slow, sometimes quick depending on the case. There’s no “one protocol fits all” in Ayurveda and frankly I get bored doing same thing again and again. Whether it’s a fever that won’t go or long-term fatigue or gut mess — I usually go deep into what's behind it. Surface-level fixes don’t last. I rather take the time than rush into wrong herbs. It’s more work, ya, but makes a diff in long run.

Dr. Snehal Vidhate
I am Dr. Snehal Vidhate, born n brought up in Maharashtra—and honestly, for as long as I remember I’ve felt this pull towards Ayurveda. Not the fancy version ppl throw around, but the deep, real kind that actually helps ppl. I did my BAMS from YMT Ayurvedic Medical College in Kharghar. That’s where I got my basics strong—like really studied the shastras, understood prakriti, doshas, the whole deal. Not just crammed theory but started to see how it shows up in real lives. After finishing BAMS, I got into this one-year certificate course at Rashtriya Ayurveda Vidyapeeth, Delhi—honestly a turning point. I was super lucky to learn Kerala Ayurveda from my Guru, Prof. Dr. G.G. Gangadharan. He’s got this way of seeing things... simple but deep. That time with him taught me more than any textbook ever could. It kinda reshaped how I look at health, healing n how precise Ayurveda can be when you respect its roots. Right now I’m doing my MD in Panchakarma from SDM Ayurveda College, Bangalore. This place is like a hub for serious Ayurveda work. The Panchakarma training here? Super intense. We go deep into detoxification & rasayana therapy—not just theory again, but hands-on. I’m learning to blend classical techniques with today’s clinical demands.. like how to make Vamana or Basti actually doable in modern patient setups. My current practice is really about merging tradition with logic. Whether it’s chronic skin issues, gut problems, stress burnout or hormone stuff—my goal is to get to the root, not just hush the symptoms. I use Panchakarma when needed, but also a lot of ahara-vihara tweaks, medhya herbs, sometimes just slowing ppl down a bit helps. I really believe Ayurveda’s power is in its simplicity when done right. I don’t try to fix ppl—I work *with* them. And honestly, every patient teaches me something back.

Dr. Ravi Chandra Rushi
I am working right now as a Consultant Ayurvedic Ano-Rectal Surgeon at Bhrigu Maharishi Ayurvedic Hospital in Nalgonda—and yeah, that name’s quite something, but what really keeps me here is the kind of cases we get. My main focus is managing ano-rectal disorders like piles (Arsha), fistula-in-ano (Bhagandara), fissure-in-ano (Parikartika), pilonidal sinus, and rectal polyps. These are often more complex than they look at first, and they get misdiagnosed or overtreated in a lotta places. That’s where our classical tools come in—Ksharasutra therapy, Agnikarma, and a few other para-surgical techniques we follow from the Samhitas...they’ve been lifesavers honestly. My work here pushes me to keep refining surgical precision while also sticking to the Ayurvedic core. I do rely on modern diagnostics when needed, but I won’t replace the value of a well-done Nadi Pariksha or assessing dosha-vikruti in depth. Most of my patients come with pain, fear, and usually after a couple of rounds of either incomplete surgeries or just being fed painkillers n antibiotics. And I totally get that frustration. That’s why I combine surgery with a whole support plan—Ayurvedic meds, diet changes, lifestyle tweaks that actually match their prakriti. Not generic stuff off a handout. Over time, I’ve seen that when people follow the whole protocol, not just the procedure part, the recurrence drops a lot. I’m quite particular about follow-up and wound care too, ‘cause we’re dealing with delicate areas here and ignoring post-op can ruin outcomes. Oh and yeah—I care a lot about educating folks too. I talk to patients in OPD, sometimes give community talks, just to tell people they do have safer options than cutting everything out under GA! I still study Shalya Tantra like it’s a living document. I try to stay updated with whatever credible advancements are happening in Ayurvedic surgery, but I filter what’s fluff and what’s actually useful. At the end of the day, my aim is to offer respectful, outcome-based care that lets patients walk out without shame or fear. That’s really what keeps me grounded in this field.

Dr. M.Sushma
I am Dr. Sushma M and yeah, I’ve been in Ayurveda for over 20 yrs now—honestly still learning from it every day. I mostly work with preventive care, diet logic, and prakriti-based guidance. I mean, why wait for full-blown disease when your body’s been whispering for years, right? I’m kinda obsessed with that early correction part—spotting vata-pitta-kapha imbalances before they spiral into something deeper. Most ppl don’t realize how much power food timing, digestion rhythm, & basic routine actually have… until they shift it. Alongside all that classical Ayurveda, I also use energy medicine & color therapy—those subtle layers matter too, esp when someone’s dealing with long-term fatigue or emotional heaviness. These things help reconnect not just the body, but the inner self too. Some ppl are skeptical at first—but when you treat *beyond* the doshas, they feel it. And I don’t force anything… I just kinda match what fits their nature. I usually take time understanding a person’s prakriti—not just from pulse or skin or tongue—but how they react to stress, sleep patterns, their relationship with food. That whole package tells the story. I don’t do textbook treatment lines—I build a plan that adjusts *with* the person, not on top of them. Over the years, watching patients slowly return to their baseline harmony—that's what keeps me in it. I’ve seen folks come in feeling lost in symptoms no one explained… and then walk out weeks later understanding their body better than they ever did. That, to me, is healing. Not chasing symptoms, but restoring rhythm. I believe true care doesn’t look rushed, or mechanical. It listens, observes, tweaks gently. That's the kind of Ayurveda I try to practice—not loud, but deeply rooted.

Dr. Sandesha Shukla
I am a dedicated Ayurvedic physician, trained deeply in classical Ayurveda and still learning every day through my patients and practice. My work focuses on restoring balance and vitality by using time-tested Ayurvedic principles rather than quick fixes, which sometimes takes patience, for both of us. I spcialize in managing chronic health conditions, lifestyle-related disorders, and long-term wellness concerns, using individualized care instead of one-size plans. I am experienced in traditional Panchkarma therapies, herbal medicine, diet planning, and lifestyle guidance, all based on a patient’s unique Prakriti and present imbalances, or Vikriti as we say in Ayurveda. I spend a lot of time understanding digestion, stress patterns, sleep, joint pain, skin issues, and subtle symptoms that are often ignored. Sometimes patients expect fast results, and I have to slow things down, explain again, and that process matter. My approach is root-cause oriented, not symptom hiding. I focus on agni, dosha balance, and daily routines, even when it feels repetitive or uncomfortable at first. I believe healing works best when patients are involved, asking questions, adjusting habits, and yes, making mistakes along teh way. My clinic offers a calm, nurturing environment where traditional Ayurvedic healing meets modern understanding of chronic disease and preventive care. I try to create space where body and mind are treated together, not separately, even if that idea feels new to some. I am here to guide patients who seek relief, prevention, or simply better balance in life, using Ayurveda in a natural, holistic, and sustainable way!!

Dr. Katariya Nutankumar Parshotambhai
I am focused on ayurvedic care for male and female infertility, and most of my clinical work has grown around this area over time. I work closely with couples and individuals who are struggling with reproductive health concerns, using classical Ayurveda principles along with practical, day-to-day treatment planning. My experience in infertility management is extensive, though every case still feels a little different, and I do stop and rethink when needed. I approach male infertility and female infertility as whole-body conditions, not isolated problems. In Ayurveda, digestion, hormones, stress patterns, and daily routine all matter, and I try to address these together rather than chasing one symptom only. Treatment plans are individualized, sometimes adjusted slowly, sometimes faster than expected, depending on how the body responds, which can be unpredictable at times.. Patient care for me is about listening first, then explaining clearly, even if it takes longer. I believe ayurvedic infertility treatment requires patience, from the patient and also from me, and I stay involved through each phase of care. Results dont follow a fixed timeline, and I am honest about that, even when it feels uncomfortable. I continue to rely on traditional ayurvedic understanding of reproductive health while keeping my clinical decisions grounded in real patient response, not theory alone! This balance matters to me, even when I question my own approach and refine it again.

Dr. Batu
I am an Ayurvedic doctor trying to bring the old wisdom of chikitsa into daily life, even if sometime I feel I am still learning new things every single day.. I work mostly with the classical principles, the ones I studied again n agin during my training, and I try to see how they fit with each patient’s prakriti and the tiny details of their health story. I am often thinking how Ayurveda doesn’t rush anything, it asks for understanding of the roga and even the rogi in a deeper way, and I keep that in mind when someone walks in and tell me their concerns. Some cases are simple, some not really, but I do my best to look at the ahara, vihara, dosha pattern and even the habits they don’t notice at first. Sometimes I get a bit caught up in analysing too many factors at once, or typing notes too fas and mixing commas,, but at the core I focus on using authentic Ayurvedic approaches—herbal formulations, routine correction, panchkarma suggestions where needed—and I try to guide people gently without overwhelming them. I am also aware that many patients come with doubts or half-heard ideas about Ayurveda, and I try to clear those without sounding too “doctorly,” just explaining what makes sense for their body. I want them to feel they can trust the process, even if progress take time or feel slow on some days. I am still growing in this field, and every person who comes to me reminds me why I chose Ayurveda in the first place: clarity, balance, and healing that respects the person as a whole. There are moments where I wish I had more hours in a day to study more granthas or revise a chapter I skipped, but I stay committed to giving care that is genuine, thoughtful and rooted in traditional practice—even if the journey gets a bit messy here n there !!

Dr. Sanidhya Sharma
I am working as a Medical Officer at KIPS Panchkarma Thulasi, Bhopal, Madhya Pradesh, where I have been serving for almost 1 year and 6 months now. This center is part of a reputed Ayurvedic hospital from Kerala, and that connect gives me chance to work with authentic Kerala medicines and practice Panchakarma therapies in their true classical way. Day to day I see patients with chronic and acute disorders, and the focus is always to bring balance in doshas, restore strength and give relief without harsh side effects. I have in-depth knowledge of Kottakkal Ayurveda medicines, and this allows me to choose formulations that are both safe and effective. Sometimes I combine Panchakarma like Virechana or Basti with specific diet correction and lifestyle plan, sometimes a simple herbal preparation is enough. Each case is different, and I like to understand prakriti, the root of imbalance, rather than just symptoms. Being in this role also taught me that patient trust matters more than anything, because people often come after trying many other treatments. When they see small improvements—better sleep, less pain, lighter digestion—they feel motivated and continue the healing process. At times progress is slow, but Ayurveda works in depth, and I feel it’s important to guide with patience. Working here gave me not only clinical exposure but also confidence that classical Ayurveda still has very strong relevance in modern times. I want to keep learning, keep refining, and help more patients find health in natural way. Mistakes happen, some days are harder, but that’s part of practice too.

Dr. Sahana A N
I am a doctor who has worked as an intern in a Government hospital in Mysore, and that time shaped a lot of my basic clinical thinking. During that period I was exposed to many real life cases, from OPD work to emergency situations, and it helped me understand how different patients respond in real settings. I also spent time working in rural hospitals, where resources were limited but learning was deep and practical. Along with hospital work, I volunteered in many medical camps, where I got to interact with patients from different backgrounds and health conditions. These experiences taught me how important clear communication and patience really is. Sometimes things did not go as planned, but that is how learning happens. Working in these setups helped me build confidence, responsibility and a better understanding of patient care at ground level. I still carry those lessons with me in daily practice, and they continue to shape how I approach treatment and decision making.
