Dhootapapeshwar Mouktik ( Mukta ) Bhasma - #27051
I am really worried about my mom's health right now. She’s been complaining about all these digestion problems, you know, the usual bloating, not feeling hungry, and just discomfort after eating. We tried a ton of things at home, including changing her diet, but nothing seems to work. We went to a doctor who suggested Dhootapapeshwar Mouktik (Mukta) Bhasma for her, saying it's good for digestion and balances everything. I don’t really know much about it and honestly didn’t expect her to go for Ayurvedic stuff, but we gave it a shot. Now, here’s the thing. Since starting the Dhootapapeshwar Mouktik (Mukta) Bhasma, she seems a little better some days, but then other days it’s like she’s back where she started! We also noticed some slight skin reactions, which is freaking me out. I read that it contains things like pearls, which is supposed to be cool, but what if that's not the right thing for her? How long do people usually take Dhootapapeshwar Mouktik (Mukta) Bhasma to see real effects? Should she stop if she feels weird or keep pushing through? I guess I'm just looking for some advice from those who have more experience with this. Are there other herbs or treatments that go hand in hand with this bhasma? Any help would be super appreciated!!

Doctors’ responses
Dhootapapeshwar Mouktik (Mukta) Bhasma is often used in Ayurveda for its effects on digestion, and it’s known for its cooling and soothing properties due to the calcium compounds derived from pearls. It’s traditionally recommended to balance Pitta dosha, which can aid in reducing hyperacidity, bloating, and digestion-related discomfort. However, any adverse reaction such as skin issues should not be ignored.
If your mom is experiencing these skin reactions, it might be wise to pause its use immediately and consult with a qualified Ayurvedic physician. Skin reactions could suggest an imbalance, or that her body is not responding optimally to this remedy, and it’s crucial to address this to avoid further issues. Dosage and duration can vary based on an individual’s unique constitution (prakriti), so a personalized consultation is key.
Typically, some people notice improvements with such supplements within few weeks, but reactions can vary significantly. It’s important not to continue if there are adverse effects. As for accompanying herbs, you could explore mild digestive aids like Triphala, a blend known for clearing the digestive tract, along with ginger tea for easing digestion naturally. If her appetite is low, keeping meals light and easily digestible, such as khichdi, can be useful.
For bloating and discomfort, it can be beneficial to include warm foods, rather than cold or raw, and spices like cumin, coriander, and fennel in her diet. Also, encourage her to maintain regular meal times and stay sufficiently hydrated. Gentle yoga or stretching can help as well.
Ultimately, professional guidance reflecting her overall health condition, existing medications, or possible allergies should shape the approach used. Certainly don’t push through discomfort—the reactions she’s experiencing suggest a need for re-evaluation of the current treatment plan. Always prioritize her comfort and safety above all.
