Is it safe to use Patanjali Gulab Sharbat daily for its health benefits? - #22746

Asher

I am really confused about this whole Patanjali Gulab Sharbat thing. So, I recently went to a wedding where they served this drink, and I just loved the flavor! But then I read online it has health benefits like cooling the body and aiding digestion. My mom always told me that rose products are good for skin too, so I thought, why not try it? But now I'm not sure, can I use Patanjali Gulab Sharbat every day? Like, is it safe or could it cause any tummy issues? I kinda get acid reflux sometimes, and I don't wanna make it worse, ya know? Would love your thoughts!

Patanjali Gulab Sharbat, with its main ingredient being rose petals infused in sugar and water, can indeed offer some health benefits. In Ayurveda, Gulab or rose is known for its cooling properties, making it effective to pacify 'pitta' dosha-related problems such as excessive heat in the body or skin irritations. It is also thought to promote digestion by soothing the stomach lining and reducing 'ama' (toxins) in the body. That said, using it daily might not be suitable for everyone, especially if you experience occasional acid reflux. The presence of sugar in this sharbat can sometimes exacerbate symptoms of heartburn or acid reflux, mainly if consumed in excess. Therefore, moderation is key. If you enjoy its taste and benefits, consider limiting consumption to a few times a week, or very small quantities daily, and observe how your body responds. For someone prone to acidity, sipping on the sharbat along with cooling herbs like mint or coriander may help to balance its effects and aid digestion further. You can also try diluting it with more water than usually recommended, to reduce the sugar concentration. Consuming it in the morning, after a light breakfast, might be most beneficial rather than on an empty stomach. Always consider your unique prakriti (constitution) and any existing health conditions. If your 'pitta' is very high, rose water in moderation might be soothing, but those with heightened 'kapha' or high sugar levels should exercise caution due to the sugar content. Additionally, maintaining a balanced diet and avoiding exacerbating factors for acid reflux, like spicy and oily foods, remains essential. It would be a good idea to consult with your healthcare provider or a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner to tailor any recommendations further, especially considering your specific condition and lifestyle. Remember, while Ayurveda can be helpful, it’s important to not overlook any ongoing symptoms that could require medical attention, such as persistent heartburn.
