Doctors' responses
For someone dealing with uterine fibroids, timing of taking herbal supplements can influence their effectiveness. It’s generally suggested that herbal supplements like Shatavari, Kanchnar Guggulu, and Haridra, which each have their distinct roles in Ayurvedic treatment, be taken at specific times to optimize their actions.
Shatavari, known for its rejuvenating and nourishing properties, can be taken, preferably in the morning on an empty stomach. This helps in ensuring that its rejuvenating effects on the reproductive tissues are maximized. Consuming it with warm water aids in its quick absorption into the body.
Kanchnar Guggulu is traditionally used for its detoxifying effects and is quite beneficial in managing fibroids. Taking it after meals, approximately 30 minutes post-lunch and dinner would be ideal. This aids in lowering kapha dosha, helping in the gradual reduction of fibroids and improving the body’s detoxification processes.
Haridra, or turmeric, is renowned for its anti-inflammatory properties. It is best recommended to consume it at night before bed. Night-time consumption assists it in working against inflammation during resting hours and support detoxification.
While these timings are general, it’s essential to consider your body’s response and any other medications or supplements you might be taking. Ensuring that these herbs don’t interfere with other treatments you are undergoing is crucial. Regular monitoring and consultation with a healthcare professional, especially for a fibroid of such size, is important to avoid any complications. Consistency is key, so try to adhere to these timings daily, while being mindful of your body’s signals. Seek immediate medical attention if you notice any adverse effects or if symptoms worsen.
