Sitaram Dhanwantharam 21 Avarthi - #31867
I am feeling pretty lost lately. Been struggling with some digestive issues for a while now. Like, no matter what I eat, I end up having this bloating and uncomfortable feeling. Tried everything, over-the-counter meds, diets, but nothing seems to do the trick. A friend of mine suggested I should look into Sitaram Dhanwantharam 21 Avarthi. I honestly never heard of it before, but apparently, it’s something used in Ayurveda for digestive health? I mean, I've read a tiny bit about it and how it’s supposed to be good for balancing the doshas, especially if you're like me and tend to be more vata. Sometimes I feel like I have all these cold hands and feet too. Ugh, it's like my whole body is out of whack. I was super curious if Sitaram Dhanwantharam 21 Avarthi could help with my situation, but I am unsure how to even start with it. What’s the right dosage or how to take it? Should I be worried about any side effects? Really need some advice, also, what about those times when it really seems to flare up more? Should I just lean on it more during those episodes? I’ve been feeling kinda hopeless about this whole thing and just want to feel like myself again. Thanks for any help!


Doctors’ responses
Sitaram Dhanwantharam 21 Avarthi is an ayurvedic formulation that’s often used to address vata imbalances, particularly those manifesting as digestive issues. This might indeed offer some relief for your bloating and discomfort, as it works to balance your doshas, especially if you lean towards vata. The herbal ingredients like ginger and ajwain, traditionally included in such formulations, could aid in digestion by enhancing agni, the digestive fire. It’s crucial, however, to start with a modest amount to assess how your body responds.
For usage, the customary dosage is usually around 10-15 ml mixed with an equal amount of warm water, taken twice daily after meals. Due to variations in individual constitution, it would be advisable to consult with a qualified ayurvedic practitioner to ascertain the exact dose that suits your unique prakriti. They also might consider any existing medications you’re taking to prevent interactions.
Regarding side effects, while Sitaram Dhanwantharam 21 Avarthi is generally considered safe, improper dosage or prolonged use may sometimes lead to digestive upset or exacerbate certain conditions, such as increased pitta symptoms – resulting in heartburn or loose stools. Always be mindful of how your body reacts and discontinue use if adverse sensations occur.
In times of heightened digestive discomfort, supporting your system with lighter, warm meals can help. Favor warm, cooked meals over raw or cold foods to ease the digestive load. Including spices such as cumin, coriander, and fennel in your cooking can further stabilize vata.
Yoga or mild exercises focused on grounding poses can also be highly beneficial for vata imbalance. Deep breathing practices, or pranayama, can settle nervous energy and contribute to overall digestion improvement.
If symptoms persist, professional guidance would be imperative, particularly in maintaining your digestive health. Remember, these strategies and supplementations should align with proper medical advice tailored to your specific needs.
Sitaram Dhanwantharam 21 Avarthi is an Ayurvedic medicated oil that’s traditionally used for various ailments, including improving vata imbalances which can often manifest in digestive issues like bloating. While it’s typically applied externally for pain relief and improved circulation, your challenges around bloating need a more digestive-focused approach rather than relying solely on this oil.
For vata digestive troubles, there are more direct Ayurvedic ways to bring relief. You might find Hingvastak Churna more beneficial, as it’s specifically used to support digestion and reduce bloating. Take 1/4 teaspoon with warm water just before meals to help stimulate your digestive fire, or “agni.” Ensure meals are warm, cooked, and ideally spiced with ginger or cumin to further aid digestion. Avoid cold and raw foods, as they can aggravate vata and hinder digestion.
As for using Sitaram Dhanwantharam 21 Avarthi, if you choose to include it, massage it onto your abdomen gently clockwise, which can help with circulation and offer relief. However, internalizing an approach with diet and lifestyle changes is more crucial here. With persistent symptoms, however, consulting a healthcare professional is essential, as lingering digestive issues may indicate underlying conditions requiring direct medical attention.
Remember too that in Ayurvedic terms, maintaining regular eating patterns and establishing a calming, routine can help manage stress and vata symptoms. Limit factors that worsen vata like irregular routines and excessive stimulation. Always be attentive—discuss any persistent discomfort or new symptoms with a qualified practitioner, especially if they’re accompanied by troubling systemic signs. Be cautious with remedies, respecting your body’s signals about what’s helping or not.
