After taking punarnava powder giddiness and loose motions have started so should I continue with this or not? I am 49 years of age with no ailments but taking powder for weight loss.

How long have you been taking punarnava powder?:

- Less than a week

Have you made any other changes to your diet or lifestyle recently?:

- No changes

How would you describe the severity of your giddiness?:

- Moderate, frequent
Consultation is closed

Doctors' responses

Giddiness and loose motions mean the medicine is not suiting your body or dose may be high. Punarnava has strong diuretic and detox action, which can sometimes cause these symptoms. Drink plenty of water / ORS Take light food (rice, curd, banana, khichdi Restart only after consulting an Ayurvedic doctor and with proper dose For weight loss, it is better to focus on diet control + daily walking/exercise rather than continuing if side effects are present.
