Tankan Bhasma is NOT a general medicine for - skin allergy, weight gain or thyroid issues. It is quite hot in potency and mainly used for excessive kapha conditions like chronic cough, asthma etc. In case of skin allergies it can worsen the symptoms as hot potency medicines aggravate the pitta dosha in the body which is the main reason for skin allergies. Try taking :- Arogyavardhini Vati 2 - 0 - 2 Kaishor guggul 2 - 0 - 2 x 15 days along with current medications for skin issues. Diet - Avoid sour, fermented food items. Cold, refrigerated, and packaged foods Fried, spicy, oily foods Curd, cheese, paneer Bakery items, excess sugar Late-night eating We need to acknowledge that weight loss and skin issues both require different kind of treatment. Although one can’t start medicines for both at a time but can definitely manage it through dietary interventions and regular activity. For further guidance and personalized treatment, feel free to contact me or book a consultation. DM to know more.

HELLO, Your 20 year skin allergy has now affected digestion, hormones, thyroid, and fat metabolism. This is due to kapha + pitta imbalance with Ama (toxins). High appetite does not mean good digestion ABOUT TANKAN BHASMA Do NOT take tankan bhasma (with honey or water) without supervision It is very hot in nature, can worsen skin allergy and thyroid problems TREATMENT GOALS -remove toxins -balance kapha and pitta -purify blood -improve digestion and metabolism -support thyroid -reduce weight and allergy recurrence INTERNAL MEDICINES 1) MAHAMANJISTHADI KASHAYA= 20 ml with equal water twice dail after meals =for skin and blood purification 2) GUDUCHI GHAN. VATI= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =allergy and immunity 3) KANCHANAR GUGGULU= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =thyroid and weight 4) HINGWASTAKA CHURNA= 1/2 tsp with warm water before meals = for proper digestion 5) TRIPHALA CHURNA= 1 tsp with warm milk at bedtime =for detox EXTERNAL CARE -apply neem oil + coconut oil (1:3) once daily -Wash affected area with Triphala water YOGA AND PRANAYAM -suryanamaskar -bhujanasana -sarvangasana PRANAYAM -Anulom vilom -mild kapalbhati -bhramari DIET AND LIFESTYLE AVOID -curd at night -sugar -fried food -bakery -cold drinks PREFER -warm food -moong dal -bitter vegetables -buttermilk -sip warm water -sleep before 10:30 pm -avoid day sleep and stress SIMPLE HOME REMEDIES -Morning= warm water + lemon -Night (2-3 x/week) :- Triphala -Neem water occasionally TESTS NEEDED -TSH, T3, T4 -Anti TPO -Lipid profile -ESR/ CRP This is deep rooted metabolic condition, not just skin allergy Avoid strong self medication Step by step Ayurvedic correction gives lasting relief, not quick fixes DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU DR.

Hello I hear your frustration about the skin allergy, weight gain, thyroid thing, and crazy appetite. Dealing with it for 20 years, and then it gets worse? That sucks, but let’s see what we can do. YOUR CONCERN – Skin allergy for 20 years – Sudden weight gain – Thyroid acting up – Always hungry – Currently taking Manjistha & medicated ghee – Not feeling much better Basically, it looks like your blood’s not so good, your Kapha–Pitta balance is off, and your metabolism is kinda weak. WHAT’S GOING ON (AYURVEDA STYLE) Your main issues seem to be: 1. Messed up Rakta & Pitta This is behind the long-term allergies, itching, and rashes. 2. Too much Kapha & Meda This adds weight and throws off your thyroid. 3. Metabolism issues This makes you super hungry and builds up toxins. ABOUT TANKAN BHASMA Yeah, Tankan Bhasma might I mean it could help, but just a tiny bit. It: – Lowers Kapha – Gets your thyroid moving – Helps your metabolism – Clears up skin allergies How to take it: → Tankan Bhasma 125 mg Once a day after breakfast With honey + warm water Don’t take it when your stomach’s empty, and only once a day. TREATMENT PLAN: INTERNAL MEDICATION 1.Arogyavardhini Vati → 1 tablet, twice a day after you eat (For liver, thyroid & skin cleaning) 2.Kaishore Guggulu → 2 tablets, twice a day (For cleaning your blood and allergies) 3.Guduchi (Giloy) → 1 capsule, twice a day (To balance your immune system) Keep taking Manjistha, but stop the medicated ghee for now. It’s making Kapha worse. DIET PLANAvoid –Milk, curd, cheese – Sugar – Bakery stuff –Fried food – Cold drinks ✅INCLUDE – Vegetables – Moong dal – Warm water – Bitter veggies (neem leaves, karela) WHAT TO EXPECT • Skin allergy → should get better in 4–6 weeks • Weight → should start dropping in 6–8 weeks • Thyroid → should slowly get better This isn’t just a skin thing – it’s a problem with your metabolism and immune system. But we’re getting to the source here You’ll feel better bit by bit. Warm Regards Dr. Snehal Vidhate

Yes – safe and very useful here (mild detox, Kapha reducer, helps thyroid & appetite control). Dose: 125–250 mg (¼–½ tsp) once daily at night Best vehicle: Mix with 1 tsp honey (never water alone – Tankan is heating, honey balances) Take after dinner for 4–6 weeks then reassess Do not exceed 250 mg/day ✓Stronger & Faster Recovery Plan (Add These – Safe with Current Meds) Kanchanar Guggulu – 2 tablets twice daily after food (best for thyroid swelling + weight + Kapha) Punarnavadi Mandoor – 250 mg twice daily after food (reduces water retention & weight gain) Arogyavardhini Vati – 1 tablet morning after breakfast (liver detox, clears Ama, controls appetite) Triphala Churna – 3 gm night with warm water (mild detox, regulates bowels & appetite) ✓Diet (Must for Fast Results) Eat only: moong khichdi + 1–2 tsp ghee, cooked lauki/pumpkin, pomegranate, thin buttermilk + roasted jeera Strictly avoid: sugar, sweets, maida, dairy (except ghee), fried, heavy pulses, cold drinks Dinner before 7 PM ✓Daily Routine Vajrasana 10 min after meals 30 min brisk walk daily Sleep 10 PM – 6 AM strictly Repeat thyroid profile + lipid in 6–8 weeks Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma
