Daily long-term use of Yashtimadhu should be cautious, especially if you have high BP, swelling, kidney issues, or acidity. For sensitive throat Sitopaladi Churna 2 grams with honey twice daily. Warm turmeric salt water gargling at night. Avoid cold water, curd at night, ice creams, and late-night eating. You may continue Yashtimadhu in low dose occasionally, but not continuously for many months without doctor advice.

Your symptoms suggest a mild Vata-Kapha aggravation triggered by cold air and throat sensitivity. You may continue Yashtimadhu daily for a few more days Ayurvedic Care for Sensitive Sore Throat Take Yashtimadhu powder with lukewarm water or honey at night. Do warm salt-water gargles twice daily. Drink warm water throughout the day; avoid cold drinks, ice cream, and refrigerated foods. At bedtime, take: 1 tsp honey + a pinch of turmeric or sip warm turmeric milk. Helpful Ayurvedic Support You can also use: Sitopaladi Churna — 1/2 tsp with honey twice daily for throat sensitivity. Steam inhalation with plain hot water before sleep if exposed to cold air. For Better Digestion Since you have occasional bloating/gas: Avoid late-night heavy meals. Add a small piece of ginger or cumin water after meals.

Since you have been using Yashtimadhu (Glycyrrhiza glabra) for a prolonged period, it is important to evaluate its long-term effects. While it is an excellent Rasayana and Kanthya (throat-soothing) herb, taking it daily for more than 3–4 months without a break can sometimes lead to water retention or a slight increase in blood pressure in sensitive individuals. ​If your throat sensitivity persists only at night, it suggests a dryness (Vata) or a mild chronic irritation that may need a slightly different approach for long-term maintenance. •Sitopaladi Churna with Honey ​This is one of the safest and most effective formulations for daily throat health. ​How to take: Mix 2 grams (approx. half a teaspoon) of Sitopaladi Churna with 1 teaspoon of raw honey. • Vyoshadi Vati or Khadiradi Vati ​If the sensitivity feels like a “tickle” or a dry cough, these classical tablets are designed for slow dissolution in the mouth. ​How to take: Keep 1 tablet of Vyoshadi Vati in your mouth and suck on it slowly before sleeping. • Haridra Khanda ​If your throat sensitivity is linked to seasonal changes or mild allergies. ​How to take: 1 teaspoon with lukewarm milk at night. •Anu Taila: Applying 2 drops of Anu Taila in each nostril (Nasya) helps maintain the moisture of the throat and nasal passage, preventing night-time dryness • ​If you wish to continue with Yashtimadhu, it is best practiced in cycles. Take it for 2 months, then take a 15-day break before resuming.
