Can I take Agasthya Rasanayam again after a year for mucus formation? - #55196
I am 64 years old, male. I was impacted by Covid-19 and was prescribed Agasthya Rasanayam by an Ayurveda doctor. I took it for a year, up to middle of 2025. Can I take it now without being prescribed? I am prone to mucus formation.
Doctors' responses
At age 64, if you are prone to excess mucus, cough, breathlessness, recurrent cold or post-Covid chest congestion, Agastya Rasayanam can be taken again in small supervised doses if you do not have uncontrolled diabetes, severe indigestion, acute fever, or liver disorder Agastya Rasayanam – 1 teaspoon (about 5 g) twice daily after food with warm water or warm milk for 6–8 weeks. If mucus is thick: Add Sitopaladi Churna 2 g + honey twice daily after meals. For Kapha reduction: Drink warm water boiled with small piece of dry ginger and tulsi leaves 2–3 times daily. Avoid: Cold food, curd at night, refrigerated items, banana at night, excess sweets.
