Yeah, Kalyanaka Kashayam can be a good choice for what you’re describing—you know, stress, low energy, even maybe helping with digestion a bit. It’s like this traditional Ayurvedic concoction that people have been using for improving mental clarity and overall vitality. You’ve got that right. It works by balancing the three doshas, particularly when Vata and Pitta are out of whack, often tied to stress and anxiety.
Taking it daily? Totally, that’s the usual way. It helps maintain consistent benefits. The typical dose is around 15-30 ml, mixed with an equal amount of warm water, taken once or twice a day. Some people do add honey, mainly for taste—depends on your preference, really.
As for taste, Kashayams can be a bit bitter, not gonna lie, but it depends on your own taste buds. Some might not mind it at all, while others might wanna sweeten it up a bit. Just make sure if you add honey, it shouldn’t be too hot. Ayurveda says hot honey ain’t great for health.
Now, your sleep problems—it might help indirectly, by reducing stress and calming the mind, which in turn might improve your sleep rhythm. If you find it’s not doing enough, a specific Kashayam like Mustadi Rajayapana might be better tailored for sleep issues.
And for your mom, Kalyanaka Kashayam is generally safe for adults—including older women—but it’s always best for her to check in with an Ayurvedic practitioner, just to customize it to her needs considering her menopausal symptoms. Every ‘body’ reacts a bit differently, right?
That’s the scoop. If you try it out, give it some time, these herbal remedies tend to need a little while to show their magic. And feel free to come back if you’ve got more questions or wanna share how it’s going!
