Alabu In Ayurveda - #5939
So, I’ve been exploring natural remedies for managing my weight and some chronic joint pain issues. I came across something called alabu in ayurveda. It sounds really interesting, but honestly, I’m super confused. From what I’ve read, alabu in ayurveda is related to some kind of treatment involving bottle gourd, but I’m not sure how it works. I’ve also seen a few people mention it for balancing doshas. Is that true? My prakriti is predominantly pitta, so could alabu in ayurveda help calm that down? Plus, I’m worried about potential side effects. Can using alabu in ayurveda cause any adverse reactions, like increased acidity or something? Another thing - does it need to be used as an external application, or can it be consumed as part of a diet? I’ve heard mixed stuff online, and honestly, some of it sounds contradictory. If anyone has experience with alabu in ayurveda, especially for pain relief or digestion, please share your insights. I’d also like to know if this is something I can incorporate into my daily routine without consulting a doctor first, or if it’s one of those treatments that needs strict monitoring. Anyone know if alabu in ayurveda has specific preparation methods? I just want to make sure I’m not jumping into something risky. Can alabu in ayurveda actually deliver results for chronic pain and pitta imbalance? Would appreciate any advice or personal stories.
