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

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

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.
