Usually these do not cause feet swelling Fennel, cumin, coriander tea and Gokshuradi Guggulu generally reduce water retention If swelling appears, stop and observe and check RFT,LFT,CRP,ESR,CUE

THE HERBAL TEA YOU ARE USING WITH FENNEL CUMIN AND CORIANDER IS GENERALLY CONSIDERED LIGHT DIGESTIVE AND MILDLY DIURETIC IN NATURE IN MOST PEOPLE IT HELPS REDUCE WATER RETENTION RATHER THAN CAUSE SWELLING SO IT IS UNLIKELY THAT THIS TEA ALONE WOULD LEAD TO SWELLING OF THE FEET GOKSHURADI GUGGUL IS ALSO TRADITIONALLY USED IN AYURVEDA TO SUPPORT URINARY HEALTH METABOLISM AND FLUID BALANCE AND IT IS COMMONLY USED IN CONDITIONS WHERE THERE IS WATER RETENTION SO IN GENERAL IT DOES NOT USUALLY CAUSE FOOT SWELLING WHEN TAKEN IN A PROPER DOSE HOWEVER EVERY PERSONS BODY CONSTITUTION AND RESPONSE TO HERBS CAN BE DIFFERENT SOMETIMES IF THE BODY IS SENSITIVE OR IF THERE IS AN UNDERLYING ISSUE SUCH AS CIRCULATION PROBLEMS SALT IMBALANCE OR KIDNEY FUNCTION VARIATION MILD SWELLING MAY APPEAR AROUND THE FEET SINCE YOU HAVE NOTICED THE SWELLING ONLY RECENTLY AND THERE ARE NO OTHER SYMPTOMS IT MAY BE HELPFUL TO PAUSE THE GOKSHURADI GUGGUL FOR A FEW DAYS AND OBSERVE WHETHER THE SWELLING REDUCES AT THE SAME TIME KEEP YOUR LEGS ELEVATED WHEN RESTING AND AVOID EXCESS SALTY OR PROCESSED FOODS IF THE SWELLING PERSISTS INCREASES OR IS ASSOCIATED WITH PAIN BREATHLESSNESS OR SUDDEN WEIGHT GAIN IT IS IMPORTANT TO CONSULT A PHYSICIAN FOR PROPER EVALUATION IN MANY CASES SUCH MILD SWELLING IS TEMPORARY AND MAY BE RELATED TO BODY ADJUSTMENT DIETARY FACTORS OR LONG PERIODS OF STANDING BUT OBSERVING YOUR BODYS RESPONSE AND USING HERBAL MEDICINES UNDER GUIDANCE IS ALWAYS THE SAFEST APPROACH

Your herbal tea and gokshuradi guggulu are both Diuretic while they help flash out excess fluid if the body becomes slightly dehydrated or if there is an underline electrolyte imbalance the body may reflexively hold on to the Water in the extremities like feet Try to change the timing try moving the gokshuradi googlu to the morning or afternoon taking Diuretic right before sleep can some time disturb the body natural regulation cycle during rest insure you are shipping warm water throughout the day rather than the large amount at once if you feel excessive thirst acidity or heat the formula might be two heating for you

Hello, None of the above causes swelling. I hope you are taking gokshuradi guggulu as per ayurveda doctor’s advice. As it is an ayurveda medicine please do not take if not prescribed. And also do you have any other medications? However it is better to go for further evaluations to rule out any underlying issues. Take care, Kind regards.

Namaste, Fennel, cumin, and coriander tea is commonly used in Ayurveda to support digestion and reduce bloating, and it usually does not cause swelling. Gokshuradi Guggul is also traditionally used to support urinary health and fluid balance. Foot swelling developing within a short time may sometimes be related to fluid retention, prolonged standing, circulation issues, kidney function, or other health conditions, rather than these herbs alone. Simple measures that may help: Observe if the swelling reduces after resting or elevating the feet. Avoid excessive salt intake and very heavy meals at night. Maintain regular walking and gentle movement to support circulation. If swelling persists, increases, or appears on both feet, it is important to consult a doctor to rule out other causes. You may temporarily pause the medicines for a few days and observe if the swelling changes, which can help identify if they are contributing. Ayurvedic medicines sometimes used to support fluid balance include: Punarnava – traditionally used to support fluid metabolism and reduce swelling. Gokshuradi Guggul – sometimes used to support urinary health and fluid balance. Consult me for more advice and suggestions on the above medicines.

HELLO, Yes- it could be related, but its not very common. A few possibilities to consider with your herbal tea and Gokshuradi guggulu 1) HERBAL TEA INREDIENTS Your tea contains fennel, cumin and coriander. These are usually mild diuretics and digestive herbs -FENNEL= often reduces bloating and fluid retention -CUMIN= digestie, generally neutral for fluid balance -CORIANDER= mild diuretic Because they tend to help remove excess fluid, they are unlikely to cause swelling in the feet 2) GOKSHURADI GUGGULU This formula usually contains herbs like gokshura and guggulu Traditionally it is used for -urinary support -kidney function -reducing water retention So foot swelling is not a typical effect. However,rare situations can occur -individual sensitivity to Guggulu -electrolyte imbalance if urination increases -underlying kidney/heart/circulation issue appearing coincidentally TIMING MATTERS Since you said the swelling started within the last week, -did the swelling been after starting the Gokshuradi gugulu ? -Is it both feet or just one? -Does it improve overnight or when you elevate your test Simple test A practical way to check -stop the Gokshuradi gugulu for 5 days -continue normal hydration -see If the swelling resolves If it improves, the supplement may be contributing Kindly go for investigation -LFT -RFT -urine examination -CBC, CRP Your fennel-cumin-coriander tea is unlikely to cause swelling. The gokshuradi guggulu could theoretically cause a reaction. But it’s UNCOMMON. A short pause is the easiest way to check DO FOLLOW HOPE THIS MIGHT BE HELPFUL THANK YOU

No all these medicines will not cause any swelling in ur body but if u r feeling such symptoms please do consult the general physician for its management Because it may be due to any kidney injury


0 replies

Are you on any hypertensive medicines.? Because gokshuradi guggul usually reduces it. But you are taking gokshura so any urine or kidney related issues you have?


0 replies

Herbal Tea (fennel, cumin, coriander)— - These spices are generally considered safe in small amounts and are often used for digestion and mild detox. - They are not commonly linked to swelling in the feet. Gokshuradi Guggulu— - This is an Ayurvedic formulation traditionally used for urinary health, kidney support, and sometimes joint issues. - It can act as a mild diuretic in some people, but in others, depending on body constitution or underlying conditions, it may cause fluid retention. - Scientific evidence on side effects is limited, but swelling (edema) can sometimes be a sign of how your body is reacting to herbs or supplements. Water Intake— - Drinking 2–3 liters daily is generally healthy, but if your body is retaining fluid, even normal intake can contribute to swelling.

Having CCF drink infact improves digestion. Gokshuradi guggul works as diuretic, infact removes excess water from body. With this you experience swelling on feet it is better to get evaluation done Need to do CBC, Thyroid panel. Evaluate parameters for kidney, heart . Follow up after 1 week

Your tea is not the cause. Most likely reasons for recent foot swelling (unrelated to your teas): Prolonged standing/sitting High-salt meal the day before Hot weather / poor venous return Mild hormonal fluctuation Early sign of ankle strain or minor injury ✓What to do right now (keep your routine – it’s good) Continue both teas exactly as you are doing Elevate feet 15–20 min 2–3×/day (legs above heart level) Wear loose socks/shoes, avoid tight bands Add gentle ankle pumps & calf stretches 2×/day Reduce salt for 3–5 days (no added salt, no processed food) Regards Dr Gursimran Jeet Singh MD Panchakarma

May I know why you started taking gokshuradi guggulu in the 1st place? Did you already have any urinary issues or joint swelling? Also, what brand of medicine were you taking? Are you on any other medications? Any history of conditions like DVT or varicose veins? When did you last check your LFT and RFT, and what were the values? any recent change in diet, trauma or excessive activity?
