Green punarnava syrup - #2988

Yeah, punarnava’s pretty cool; it's got some serious cred in Ayurveda. The green punarnava syrup, which some peope use, is made out of the punarnava plant that’s actually famous for its diuretic properties. It's supposed to help rid the body of excess fluids, which, in turn, can reduce that annoying swelling. And you're right, it can be supportive for kidney health too. Swelling getting worse in the evenings after a long day of sitting around adds up. You’re likely dealing with some kapha imbalance, where excess water’s hanging out longer than it should. So yeah, punarnava can be a good buddy in such scenarios. Now, about its effectiveness—is it like a magic wand? Not exactly. It can take some time. Some folks notice a difference within a week or so, while for others, it could take a little longer. It doesn't work overnight, but takes steady use to see results. Dosing is usually about 1-2 teaspoons (or 5-10ml) taken two to three times daily. It's best consumed before meals, with a bit of lukewarm water. This helps in quick absorption and effectiveness. Keep in mind tho, while punarnava syrup is generally safe, too much could lead to upset stomach or loss of energy since it reduces water balance. Moderation’s key. When taking punarnava syrup, avoid salty, processed foods and alcohol, as these could hinder the syrup's effect. Salty foods tend to lead to more water retention—exactly what you're trying to fix. Eating light, like veggies, whole grains, and staying well-hydrated with water will complement the effects of the syrup nicely. And yeah, if swelling is severe, or there's pain involved, it’s best to check in with a health professional to make sure nothing more serious is going on. So, worth giving it a shot, but don’t lean solely on that bottle; lifestyle matters too!
