Dear Rashmi, It’s actually good that you noticed the connection between Panchaghavya ghrita and how you were feeling -that awareness helps us correct things early Feeling drowsy or unusually every after taking,ghee, especially panchagavya ghrita usually indicates that your digestive fire is not able to properly process the heaviness of the ghrita at this time, Panchagavya ghrita he is very nourishing but also quite deep acting and dense. If it is taken when direction is weak or if the body is not ready for that intensity, it can lead to symptoms like heaviness, sluggishness, brain, fog, or even nausea in some cases This doesn’t means anything serious is wrong. It’s simply means your body wasn’t ready for this. GHRITA or the dose or digestion timing wasn’t ideal. It is good that you have pause it and feel better that confirm the direction was temporarily overloaded. There is no need to worry. This is not a serious issue, but I would suggest avoiding this ghrita for now. If still your experiencing foggy or tiredness during the day, then you can take hingwastaka churna-of teaspoon with warm water before meals, that is enough

I am a dedicated Ayurveda practitioner with a deep-rooted passion for restoring health through traditional Ayurvedic principles. My clinical approach revolves around understanding the unique constitution (Prakruti) and current imbalance (Vikruti) of each individual. I conduct comprehensive consultations that include Prakruti-Vikruti Pareeksha, tongue examination, and other Ayurvedic diagnostic tools to identify the underlying causes of disease, rather than just addressing symptoms. My primary focus is on balancing the doshas—Vata, Pitta, and Kapha—through individualized treatment plans that include herbal medicines, therapeutic diets, and lifestyle modifications. I believe that healing begins with alignment, and I work closely with my patients to bring the body, mind, and spirit into harmony using personalized, constitution-based interventions. Whether managing chronic conditions or guiding preventive health, I aim to empower patients through Ayurvedic wisdom, offering not just relief but a sustainable path to well-being. My practice is rooted in authenticity, guided by classical Ayurvedic texts and a strong commitment to ethical, patient-centered care. I take pride in helping people achieve long-term health outcomes by integrating ancient knowledge with a modern, practical approach. Through continuous learning and close attention to every detail in diagnosis and treatment, I strive to deliver meaningful, natural, and effective results for all my patients.

Hello, Feeling drowsy after taking medicated ghee is very normal. It is a sign that the ghee is getting digested in the system. You should sip hot water so that you can facilitate the digestion of ghritham But it is very important to take the panchagavya ghitha in dosage as prescribed by your doctor and also follow the instructions given by the doctor, strictly. Take care. Kind regards.

Ghee takes time to get digested in body If you are feeling drowsy then reduce the amount of ghee you are taking as your agni is not strong enough to digest that much amount of ghee Are you taking ghee before panchkarma If yes then drowsiness is normal Hot water and ajvain seeds help If you are taking daily as medicine Then don't take more than 2 tsp You can inc afterwards

With over 7 years of dedicated clinical experience, I have been committed to practicing authentic Ayurvedic medicine with a patient-centered and root-cause-based approach. My journey as an Ayurvedic physician has allowed me to work with a wide range of patients suffering from chronic and lifestyle-related conditions. I have developed a strong foundation in diagnosing dosha imbalances and tailoring treatment protocols that include classical Ayurvedic medicines, Panchakarma therapies, personalized diet, and lifestyle modifications. Throughout my career, I have focused on combining traditional Ayurvedic wisdom with a clear understanding of each patient’s unique constitution (prakriti) and health history. My areas of interest include managing metabolic disorders, joint and musculoskeletal issues, skin diseases, digestive problems, and gynecological conditions through time-tested Ayurvedic formulations and therapies. I am especially passionate about preventive healthcare and believe in educating patients on seasonal routines (ritucharya), daily regimens (dinacharya), and holistic wellness practices. I emphasize open communication and empathetic consultation, ensuring that each patient feels heard, supported, and motivated throughout their healing journey. My clinical background, combined with continuous learning, has helped me maintain a high standard of care and build lasting trust with my patients. I believe true healing comes not only from treating symptoms but by restoring harmony between body, mind, and spirit—the core philosophy of Ayurveda.

Experiencing drowsiness after consuming Panchagavya Ghrita may not necessarily indicate a serious problem, but it does warrant some careful consideration of your unique constitution and health situation. In Ayurveda, ghee is often recommended for its nourishing qualities and ability to enhance digestion and absorption. However, it's important to understand that everyone's Ayurevdic constitution or "prakriti" is different, which means effects can vary from person to person. One possiblity is that the heaviness of ghee could over-burden the digestive fire or "agni," particularly if yours is weak. When agni is compromised, the consumption of heavy and unctuous foods like ghee can lead to sluggishness or drowsiness as the body struggles to digest these foods efficiently. Alternatively, if your Kapha dosha is aggravated, consuming ghee could increase sensations of lethargy given its oily and heavy qualities. You might want to consider a few simple steps to balance and strengthen your digestive fire - such as consuming ginger tea before meals, or sprinkling a pinch of black pepper on your food to stimulate digestion. Opt for lighter, warm meals which are easier to digest and make sure to engage in light physical activity throughout the day. It’s also prudent to consume ghee in moderation and take it during daytime when your digestion is strongest, generally around noon. If you have stopped consuming the ghee and feel relief, it’s a good idea to continue observing how you feel and consult with a practitioner if the symptoms persist. The importance is to listen to what your body signals and adjust accordingly, as Ayurveda encourages an individualized approach to health where self-awareness plays a key role.
