Is it safe to take Tapee Tea for joint pain if it contains steroids? - #55241

Hello, Yes- based on the FDA findings you mentioned, I would strongly advise not using that tea, especially because you have Diabetes Mellitus and are already on prescribed medications The concern is not Ayurveda itself - the concern is that the product reportedly containes hidden pharmaceutical drugs not listed on the label -Dexamethasone -piroxicam These can temporarily reduce pain strongly, which is why some miracle joint teas seem to work quickly. but hidden steroid exposure can be risky Why this is especially risky for you Because you have diabetes Hidden steroid may -raise blood sugar significantly -suppress adrenal function -increase infection risk -cause fluid retention -lead to muscle weakness or mood changes Hidden NSAIDs piroxicam may -irritate stomach -affect kidney -increase bleeding risk -interact with other medicines Important point You’ve only taken it for less than a week, which is good Short exposure is less likely to cause major adrenal damage, but i would still recomend -stop the tea -monitor blood sugar closely for several days Safer Ayurvedic alteratives for joint pain 1) MahaYogaraj guggulu= 2 tabs twice daily after meals =joint stiffness+ chronic pain 2) Simhanada guggulu= 1 tab twice daily after meals =helpful in ama related arthritis and gout tendency 3) Rasana saptakam kashaya= 15ml with warm water twice daily before meals =chronic joint pain External 1) Warm Mahanarayan taila massage followed by warm fomentation Diet -warm water -cooked vegetables -light digestion friendly meals Reduce -red meat excess -alcohol -sugary drinks -deep fried foods FDA warning should be taken seriously Hidden steroids are especially risky in diabetes Since you used it only briefly, stopping now is the safest choice Choose transparent, reputable formulation instead of miracle teas, with disclosed ingredients Do follow Hope this might be helpful Thank you
