Doctors' responses
Hello I get why you’re worried—having so many things going on at once can make it hard to figure out what’s actually safe for you. But dont worry we are here to help you out 😊
YOUR CONCERN
–You’re 25. –You have gallstones, asthma, thyroid disorder, chronic constipation, and you get breathless a lot. –You want to know if you can take Avipattikar Churna.
So, can you take Avipattikar Churna?
Yes, you can, but you need to be careful and stick to the right dose.
What Avipattikar Churna does: –It cools down pitta. –It’s a mild laxative. –It helps with digestion and acidity.
How it fits with your conditions:
Gallstones: –Avipattikar won’t dissolve your gallstones, but it’s generally safe if you don’t have pain, infection, or blockage right now. –Sometimes, it even helps a bit by making digestion smoother and calming down bile irritation. –Don’t use it if you’re having a gallbladder attack, fever, or vomiting
Asthma & Breathlessness: –It’s not going to hurt your asthma. In fact, if you clear out constipation and reduce “ama” (toxins), your breathlessness could get a little better. – But just to be clear, it’s not an asthma medicine.
Thyroid Disorder: –No clashes here. Just keep a two-hour gap between your thyroid meds and Avipattikar.
Constipation: –This is where Avipattikar shines, especially if your constipation comes from pitta imbalance. –If your stool’s super dry and hard, you might need something else along with it.
How to take it: –Half a teaspoon at bedtime, with lukewarm water. –Start with this for 7–10 days, then check how you’re doing. –Don’t keep taking it every night for weeks on end without checking in with a doctor.
Better Ayurvedic options for your mix of issues:
Honestly, with so many things going on, Avipattikar isn’t a magic fix on its own.
For Gall stone –pithorin 1 tablet twice a day after food
For Constipation + Breathlessness: –Triphala Churna is a safer bet long-term. Half a teaspoon at night with warm water.
For Asthma: –Sitopaladi Churna, half a teaspoon with honey, twice a day. It helps with cough, wheezing, and chest tightness.
For Digestion & Ama: –Hingvashtak Churna, quarter to half a teaspoon before meals with warm water—less bloating, less pressure, easier breathing.
DIET PLAN
✅INCLUDE Warm, light, freshly cooked food. Lots of warm water. Cooked veggies like lauki, tori, pumpkin. A little ghee—it’ll help your bowels move.
❌AVOID Fried or greasy stuff (gallstones hate it). Cold drinks, ice cream. Bakery goods. Late dinners. Too much raw salad.
❌When to stay away from Avipattikar completely: If you suddenly get severe pain in your upper right belly, fever with belly pain, non-stop vomiting, or your eyes/pee turn yellow—stop everything and see a doctor right away.
Avipattikar Churna can work for you, but keep the dose low and don’t use it for too long without checking in. Honestly, your symptoms look like a mix of vata, kapha, and pitta all tangled up. You’ll get better results if you use a combination of remedies, not just one.

Yes ofcourse u can take avipattikara churna in gall stones issue actually it will reduce the problem if u combine it with other medicines like Arogyavardhini vati tab 1-0-1 after food Varunadi kashayam 20 ml twice a day after food Chandraprabha vati tab 1-0-1 after food
YES, you can take Avipattikar Churna.
It is actually an excellent choice for your combination of symptoms for three reasons:
For Gallstones & Constipation: It acts as a mild laxative (Mridu Virechana). It clears the Pitta and keeps the bowels moving, which prevents pressure buildup in the liver and gallbladder.
For Asthma & Breathlessness: Often, constipation causes bloating which pushes the diaphragm up, causing breathlessness (Udavarta). Clearing the stomach with Avipattikar often provides immediate relief to the lungs. Thyroid: It improves metabolism (Agni), which is beneficial for thyroid function.
Dosage Instructions Take: 1 teaspoon with Warm Water (not cold) at bedtime. Since you have Asthma, strictly use Warm Water to wash it down to prevent any mucus buildup.

HELLO,
You are experiencing multiple symptoms that are connected, not separated diseases -gallstones -asthma with breathlessness -thyroid imbalance -constipation -frequent heaviness, discomfort, and low energy
In Ayurveda, this is seen as a multi-dosha disorder, mainly involving -kapha (mucus, heaviness, obstruction) -vata (breathlessness, constipation, dryness, irregularity) -Pitta (acidity, gallbladder involvement, heat)
The root problem is -weak and disturbed digestion leading to toxin accumulation and blockage of normal channels
HOW THESE PROBLEMS ARE CONNECTED
1) DIGESTIVE WEAKNESS-> CONSTIPATION -food is not digested properly -waste accumulates -vata becomes blocked in the abdomen
2) CONSTIPATION-> BREATHLESSNESS AND ASTHMA -blocked Apana vata (downward movement) pushes prana vata upward -this worsens asthma, chest tightness, and breathlessness
3) GALLSTONES -due to thickened bile, excess pitta mixed with kapha -poor fat digestion -long standing digestive imbalance
4) THYROID ISSUES -considered a metabolic + kapha disorder -rooted In sluggish digestion and hormonal imbalance -needs long term correction of metabolism, not just tablets
WHY AVIPATTIKAR IS NOT IDEAL ALONE
AVIPATTIKAR CHURNA -reduces acidic pitta -mild laxative
BUT -does not correct kapha blockage -may increase bile movement, which can irritate gallstones -does not support asthma directly
Therefore, it can be used only cautiously and not as the main medicine
TREATMENT GOALS -improve digestion -remove toxins -normalize bowel movement safely -reduce kapha in chest -balance bile and gallbladder function -support metabolism and thyroid -strengthen lungs and immunity -prevent future worsening
INTERNAL MEDICATIONS
1) FOR DIGESTION AND CONSTIPATION
-TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp at bedtime with warm water =regulates bowel, removes toxins
2) FOR ASTHMA AND BREATHLESSNESS
-SITOPALADI + TALISADI CHURNA= 1 tsp twice daily with honey after meals =reduces chest mucus, improves breathing
3) FOR GALLBLADDER AND PITTA BALANCE
-KALMEGHA SYRUP= 1 tsp twice daily after meals =supports liver and bile flow, reduce inflammation, prevent stone worsening
4) FOR THYROID SUPPORT
-KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =improves metabolism, reduces kapha stagnation, works slowly but steadily
EXTERNAL THERAPIES
1) OIL MASSAGE= WARM SESAME OIL -Frequency= 3-4 times/week =reduces vata, improves bowel movement, calms nerves and breathing
2) STEAM INHALATION -plain or with ajwain -cleears chest kapha, helps asthma
YOGA ASANAS -pawanmuktasaa -bhujangasana -vajrasana after meals -sukhasana
PRANAYAM -Anulom Vilom= 10 rounds -bhramari= 5-7 times -ujjayi= mild
AVOID -kapalbhati -forceful breathing -advanced twists if gallstones pain exists
DIET -warm, freshly cooked meals -rice, moong dal -bottle gourd, pumpkin, ridge gourd -papaya small quantity -ginger water
AVOID -fried, oily foods -cheese, bakery, pizza -cold drinks, ice cream -excess tea/coffee -late night meals
EATING RULES -eat only when hungry -do not skip meals -stop before full stomach
HOME REMEDIES -warm water in morning -soaked raisins 5-6 overnight for constipation -ginger+honey for breathlessness -ajwain water after meals pinch in warm water
DURATION OF TREATMENT -Initial improvement= 3-4 weeks -Stabilization= 3 months -Thyroid and gallbladder balance= 6-12 moths
Ayurveda works gradually but deeply, correcting the root
You are not suffering from unrelated diseases- this is one systemic imbalance Correcting digestion and lifestyle is as important as mediicnes
Do not self medicate aggressively With proper Ayurvedic guidance, symptoms can be controlled and quality of life improved significantly
DO FOLLOW
HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL
