From what you’ve described, it sounds like your experience with Sitaram Thikthaka Ghrutham is not unique, but let’s see if we can optimize its use for your situation. Irregular bowel movements and bloating could indicate an imbalance in your digestive system, often related to Vata dosha disturbance. Thikthaka Ghrutham is traditionally used for its purifying and inflammatory-soothing properties, potentially beneficial for your symptoms.
Firstly, ensure you’re taking the ghrutham in the recommended dosage. Usually, it’s about 5-10 grams, taken before meals with warm water, but this can vary based on individual constitutions. Consistent routine use is essential. Make sure the spoon you use is dry each time you access the ghrutham to prevent contamination.
In addition, consider your diet and daily routine – Ayurveda emphasizes balance not just through medication, but lifestyle. Increase your intake of warm, cooked foods that are easy to digest; kichadi (a mix of rice and lentils) with minimal spices might be a good staple.
For Vata imbalance, incorporating more grounding, moisture-rich foods can help. Ghee, which is a part of Thikthaka Ghrutham, is itself vata-pacifying, but you could also add foods like avocados and nuts in moderation. Follow regular meal times, and avoid cold and raw foods which can further disturb Vata.
Addressing your fatigue and headaches, ensure you are staying hydrated and consider limiting caffeine. Gentle yoga or meditation might also assist in calming your system down. Remember, sometimes the improvement takes a bit longer, and patience is key.
However, if you notice no significant changes or symptoms worsen, consult an Ayurvedic practitioner or health care professional directly. You may need adjustments in your regimen or further diagnostic evaluation, and it’s important not to overlook any underlying conditions that might be manifesting as digestive issues.
