Your symptoms clearly indicate Vata-Pitta dushti with Visham Agni and Mridu Koshta. Because of irregular digestion, the intestine is not absorbing food properly, leading to: variable appetite sticky/loose stools bloating skin irritation dizziness heaviness and weight gain from “Ama” accumulation The fact that you improve with Chitrakadi Vati and Bilvadi shows that your Agni is weak but responding well to Deepan-Pachan therapy. The stool is still not properly formed because: Pitta keeps the bowel soft Vata causes irregular movement mild Ama is still present in grahani/intestines So the aim is: ✔ strengthen Agni ✔ absorb excess moisture ✔ calm Vata-Pitta together ✔ improve grahani function ✔ avoid medicines that increase Kapha/weight You may continue: Chitrakadi Vati after meals Bilvadi Churna/Vati before meals Additionally, these Ayurvedic medicines are commonly helpful: Kutajghan Vati – 1 tab twice daily after food Helps form stool, reduces stickiness, balances Pitta without causing weight gain. Takrarishta – 15 ml with equal water after lunch & dinner Excellent for Grahani, Visham Agni, bloating and loose-soft stools. If skin irritation and Pitta are high: Avipattikar Churna ½ tsp at bedtime occasionally. It clears Pitta gently without weakening digestion. Diet guidance: Prefer warm, freshly cooked food Thin moong khichdi, old rice, buttermilk with roasted jeera are best Avoid curd at night, excess chili, fried food, bakery items, cold drinks Avoid overeating even if appetite fluctuates Sip warm water through the day Very useful for you: Buttermilk (Takra) with roasted cumin + pinch of rock salt after lunch This is one of the best Ayurvedic remedies for Grahani and improves stool formation naturally without increasing weight. Lifestyle: Sleep on time Do not skip meals Continue daily exercise but avoid excessive fasting or overexertion With proper Agni correction, stool gradually becomes well-formed. Usually improvement in Grahani takes a few weeks to months, especially when symptoms are present for more than 6 months. If symptoms persist despite treatment, consult a qualified Ayurvedic physician for detailed assessment of: Ama level Grahani involvement liver-Pitta status food sensitivities stress-gut connection Overall, your condition appears manageable and reversible with consistent Agni-balancing treatment and diet.

आपके symptoms Vata-Pitta dushti + Visham Agni / Grahani weakness जैसे हैं. इसलिए stool कभी sticky, कभी loose और appetite variable रहता है. Medicine से relief आ रहा है, मतलब agni improve हो रही है, लेकिन अभी digestion stable नहीं हुआ है; इसलिए बंद करने पर problem लौटती है. —Advice: -Chitrakadi vati long-term ज्यादा न लें, Pitta/skin problem बढ़ सकती है. -Bilvadi continue करें as advised. साथ में Musta churna 2–3 gm twice daily after food गुनगुने पानी से 3–4 weeks le सकते हैं. –अगर stool soft/loose रहे तो Kutajghan vati 1 tab twice daily after food 10–15 दिन. –Lunch के बाद thin buttermilk + roasted jeera + pinch saindhav लें. –Spicy, fried, curd at night, cold drinks, bakery और heavy dinner avoid करें. ----------Why stool not formed? क्योंकि Agni और Grahani ki absorption power अभी weak है, इसलिए stool पूरी तरह bind/form नहीं हो रहा.

Your symptoms suggest Visham Agni with Vata-Pitta imbalance and mild Grahani dysfunction. Loose formed stool happens because Agni is still unstable and intestinal absorption is weak. Since Chitrakadi and Bilvadi are helping, continue them for a short period under supervision. Take Kutaj Ghan Vati 2 tablets twice daily after food Avipattikar Churna 3 grams at night with warm water Takrarishta 15 ml with equal water after lunch and dinner Diet Prefer warm, light food Use buttermilk with roasted jeera Avoid curd at night, fried food, excess spicy food, bakery items, and cold drinks
