Can I take Shatavari and Kumari Asav after starting my periods? - #47994

YES YOU CAN USE SHATAVARI POWDER AND KUMARI ASAV TOGETHER BUT WITH SOME IMPORTANT CAUTIONS GIVEN THAT YOU ARE POSTPARTUM BREASTFEEDING AND HAVE FATTY LIVER

AFTER DELIVERY AND DURING BREASTFEEDING IT IS VERY COMMON FOR PERIODS TO RETURN AS LIGHT OR DRY THIS HAPPENS DUE TO HORMONAL SHIFTS FLUID DEPLETION AND GENERAL TISSUE RECOVERY STILL GOING ON SO THIS IS NOT UNUSUAL AND DOES NOT MEAN SOMETHING IS WRONG

SHATAVARI POWDER IS VERY SUITABLE FOR YOU IT SUPPORTS HORMONAL BALANCE NOURISHES REPRODUCTIVE TISSUES HELPS WITH DRYNESS AND IS SAFE DURING LACTATION IT ALSO SUPPORTS EMOTIONAL CALMNESS AND GENTLY AIDS DIGESTION DOSAGE HALF TEASPOON ONCE OR TWICE DAILY WITH WARM MILK OR WARM WATER AFTER FOOD

KUMARI ASAV CAN ALSO BE USED TO SUPPORT MENSTRUAL FLOW AND LIVER FUNCTION HOWEVER BECAUSE YOU HAVE FATTY LIVER AND ARE BREASTFEEDING IT SHOULD BE USED IN A LIMITED AND CAREFUL DOSE AS IT IS FERMENTED AND CAN BE STRONG IF OVERUSED DOSAGE 10 ML ONCE DAILY AFTER LUNCH DILUTED WITH EQUAL WATER DO NOT TAKE IT AT NIGHT AND DO NOT EXCEED THIS DOSE

YES THEY CAN BE TAKEN TOGETHER BUT NOT AT THE SAME TIME TAKE SHATAVARI MORNING OR NIGHT AND KUMARI ASAV ONLY AFTER LUNCH THIS REDUCES LOAD ON THE LIVER AND DIGESTION

IF YOUR FLOW IS LIGHT BUT PAIN IS MILD THERE IS NO NEED TO PUSH THE BODY TO BLEED MORE RIGHT NOW THE GOAL IS NOURISHMENT AND STABILITY NOT FORCING HEAVIER PERIODS

AVOID VERY OILY FRIED AND PROCESSED FOODS EAT SIMPLE WARM HOME COOKED MEALS ADD A LITTLE GHEE RATHER THAN HEAVY OILS WALK DAILY EVEN LIGHT WALKING HELPS LIVER METABOLISM

IF YOU NOTICE INCREASED ACIDITY LOOSE MOTIONS OR WEAKNESS STOP KUMARI ASAV AND CONTINUE ONLY SHATAVARI IF PERIODS STOP AGAIN WHILE BREASTFEEDING THAT CAN ALSO BE NORMAL

OVERALL SHATAVARI IS THE MAIN SUPPORT FOR YOU KUMARI ASAV IS OPTIONAL AND SHOULD BE USED SHORT TERM AND IN LOW DOSE GIVEN YOUR FATTY LIVER
