Doctors' responses
1️⃣ Truth about Vidanga (Embelia ribes) ✔ What Vidanga is excellent for Krimi (intestinal parasites) Ama (toxins) Chronic fatigue due to parasites Digestive sluggishness ⚠️ The concern (also true) Vidanga is Ushna (hot), Tikshna (sharp), and Ruksha In long-term / high-dose use, it can: Reduce Shukra dhatu (reproductive tissue) Act as anti-fertility, especially in men Disturb ovulation if misused in women 👉 Ayurveda never recommends long-term Vidanga use in people planning fertility. 2️⃣ How Ayurveda Uses Vidanga SAFELY for Krimi (Without harming fertility) 🔑 Key principle: Vidanga should be used SHORT-TERM, LOW-DOSE, and with SHUKRA-PROTECTIVE herbs. 3️⃣ Safe Protocol (Fertility-Preserving) ✔ Duration ONLY 7–10 days Never more than 2 weeks ✔ Dose (important) Vidanga churna: 250–500 mg once daily Take after food, not empty stomach ✔ Correct Anupana (carrier) Take Vidanga with one of these: Ghee (½ tsp) Warm milk Honey + ghee (equal drops) 👉 This buffers its drying & anti-fertility effect. 4️⃣ Mandatory Fertility-Protective Combination Vidanga should never be used alone when fertility matters. Add any ONE of the following: For men Shatavari churna – ½ tsp at night with milk OR Ashwagandha churna – ½ tsp at night For women Shatavari churna – ½ tsp at night with milk OR Phala Ghrita (if advised by Vaidya) 👉 These herbs protect and rebuild Shukra dhatu. 5️⃣ Better Alternative (Preferred when planning conception) If symptoms are mild (fatigue only) and no confirmed parasites: 🌿 Fertility-safe Krimi approach Triphala churna – ½ tsp at night Neem (small dose) – 5–7 days only Buttermilk + roasted cumin Avoid sugar, yeast, heavy foods 👉 This often clears subclinical parasites without Vidanga.
