Krimi Medicine For Child - #6059

Jackson

My 5-year-old has been complaining of stomach pain and occasional nausea for the past few weeks. A doctor mentioned it could be worms, and someone recommended using krimi medicine for child as a safe Ayurvedic solution. Can someone explain how effective krimi medicine for child is for treating worms? I’ve read that krimi medicine for child is designed to eliminate intestinal parasites while improving digestion. How long does it usually take to work? Should it be taken as a single dose or over a period of days? Are there any side effects of krimi medicine for child, such as diarrhea or changes in appetite? I’m also curious if there are dietary recommendations to follow during the treatment, like avoiding sweets or specific foods that may worsen the worm infestation. What ingredients are commonly used in krimi medicine for child? I’ve heard of herbs like vidanga and neem being effective. Are these included, and how do they work to eliminate worms naturally? If anyone has used krimi medicine for child, how did you ensure the worms didn’t return? Is there a need for regular deworming, and how frequently should it be done? Any advice would be greatly appreciated.

Krimi medicine is an Ayurvedic remedy specifically designed to eliminate intestinal parasites (worms) in children. Common ingredients include herbs like Vidanga, Neem, and Haritaki, which are known for their anti-parasitic properties. These herbs help cleanse the digestive system, improve digestion, and eliminate worms. The treatment typically works by disrupting the worms’ lifecycle and expelling them naturally from the body.

Krimi medicine is generally taken over a period of days, not as a single dose, and the treatment plan should be followed as prescribed by an Ayurvedic doctor. The dosage and duration depend on the child’s age, health condition, and the severity of the worm infestation. As for side effects, they are rare but may include mild stomach upset or diarrhea as the worms are expelled, especially during the first few days. Appetite changes are also possible, but they usually resolve once the treatment is complete.

During treatment, it is advisable to avoid sugary or heavy foods, as these can nourish the parasites. Light, easy-to-digest foods like rice, soups, and vegetables are preferable. Regular deworming may be recommended for children, typically every 6 months or as advised by the Ayurvedic practitioner.

To prevent recurrence, maintaining good hygiene, keeping the child’s environment clean, and following a balanced, healthy diet are important. However, for the best results and to ensure safe and appropriate use of krimi medicine, it’s recommended to consult with an experienced Ayurvedic practitioner who can provide tailored advice.

Krimi medicine for children is an Ayurvedic treatment aimed at eliminating intestinal parasites (worms) and improving digestion. It typically includes herbs like Vidanga, Neem, Triphala, and Pippali, which have natural anti-parasitic and digestive-supporting properties. These herbs work together to kill intestinal worms, support the digestive system, and detoxify the body.

The treatment is usually taken over a period of days, not as a single dose, depending on the product and the child’s age. Most Krimi medicines require daily doses for a week or so, but the exact duration will depend on the specific formulation.

Side effects are rare but may include mild diarrhea, nausea, or temporary changes in appetite as the body detoxifies. If this happens, it’s usually mild and resolves quickly.

To enhance the treatment’s effectiveness, it’s advised to follow a digestive-friendly diet during the treatment. Avoid sweets, fried foods, and dairy as these can worsen the condition and create a favorable environment for worms. Instead, focus on easily digestible foods like plain rice, steamed vegetables, and simple soups.

In terms of prevention, regular deworming (every 6-12 months) can help avoid reinfestation, but it’s essential to consult a pediatrician or Ayurvedic practitioner to determine the proper frequency and dosage for your child. Hygiene practices like washing hands frequently and ensuring your child’s environment is clean are also key in preventing future worm infestations.

Krimi medicine for your child could definitely be a good option, especially if you’re looking for something that’s more natural and holistic. These Ayuervedic formulations often use herbs like vidanga (Embelia ribes) and neem, known for their anti-parasitic properties. Vidanga works as a purgative, meaning it helps expel worms, while neem is renowned for its antibacterial and antifungal capabilities, making it a great choice for creating an environment that’s unwelcome for parasites.

The effectiveness of krimi medicine can vary a bit; some notice improvements within a few days, others it might take a week or more, depending on the severity of the infestation. It’s typically taken over the course of several days to ensure all parasites are eliminated. A single dose might not be enough.

Side effects like diarrhea or appetite changes can happen, but they’re typically mild and short-lived, often just a sign that the body is expelling the parasites. If symptoms become severe, though, you should definitely consult with a healthcare provider.

When it comes to diet, yes, avoiding sweets is recommended as sugary foods can sometimes provide fuel for the worms. Opt for a light diet, mostly cooked vegetables and rice, and keep it simple so digestion isn’t taxed too much.

As for preventing future infestations, maintaining good hygiene is crucial. Handwashing before meals and after using the restroom, and ensuring your child doesn’t put foreign objects in their mouth helps. Regular deworming might be necessary, talk to an Ayurvedic practitioner about a suitable schedule; usually every 6 months is a common suggestion.

Finally, to make the most of the treatment, opt for an established Ayurvedic brand to ensure quality and safety. Ensuring a balanced diet and perhaps a post-treatment with digestive herbs like Triphala can boost overall digestion and immunity.

Dr. Anirudh Deshmukh
I am Dr Anurag Sharma, done with BAMS and also PGDHCM from IMS BHU, which honestly shaped a lot of how I approach things now in clinic. Working as a physician and also as an anorectal surgeon, I’ve got around 2 to 3 years of solid experience—tho like, every day still teaches me something new. I mainly focus on anorectal care (like piles, fissure, fistula stuff), plus I work with chronic pain cases too. Pain management is something I feel really invested in—seeing someone walk in barely managing and then leave with actual relief, that hits different. I’m not really the fancy talk type, but I try to keep my patients super informed, not just hand out meds n move on. Each case needs a bit of thinking—some need Ksharasutra or minor para surgical stuff, while others are just lifestyle tweaks and herbal meds. I like mixing the Ayurved principles with modern insights when I can, coz both sides got value really. It’s like—knowing when to go gentle and when to be precise. Right now I’m working hard on getting even better with surgical skills, but also want to help people get to me before surgery's the only option. Had few complicated cases where patience n consistency paid off—no shortcuts but yeah, worth it. The whole point for me is to actually listen first, like proper listen. People talk about symptoms but also say what they feel—and that helps in understanding more than any lab report sometimes. I just want to stay grounded in my work, and keep growing while doing what I can to make someone's pain bit less every day.

Dr. Happy Patel
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. Happy Patel, right now in my 1st year of MD in Dravyaguna at Parul Institute of Ayurved, Parul University. I guess my whole thing kinda revolves around understanding the real essence of medicinal plants—not just listing herbs but digging deep into what makes each of them tick... like how their rasa, guna, virya, vipaka and prabhava actually work inside a body, especially in connection with a patient’s prakriti and doshic imbalance. I do spend most of my time between academics and clinical postings, but outside of that I also treat patients independently—when approached—especially using single drug therapies or classical combinations that match dosha and vyadhi properly. Sometimes I just sit and go back to the basics before I pick a herb… like not just "use haridra for this," but "is this the haridra that suits this person right now?" That sorta stuff. Materia medica is something I take really seriously. I’m always trying to match the pharmacological properties of herbs with what the body needs—not in a broad way, but real specific. I don’t believe in random prescribing just coz a formulation’s famous or commonly used... I want it to make sense. Also I’m big on yukti upayoga—using plants intelligently, with full context. My work till now (though still early) is focused on keeping ayurveda’s original wisdom intact, but also not turning it into a museum piece. Like, ya it’s ancient but that doesn’t mean it can’t solve modern issues if you apply it right. Just takes effort, patience... and the right dravya, used the right way.

Dr. Shaniba P
I am an Ayurvedic doctor, someone who’s pretty much built her clinical journey around natural healing, balance and yeah—just trying to help ppl feel a bit more whole again. I work mostly with conditions that kinda stay with people... like joint pain that won’t go away, periods all over the place, kids falling sick again n again, or just the kind of stress that messes up digestion n sleep n everything in between. A lot of my practice circles around arthritis, lower back pain, PCOD-ish symptoms, antenatal care, immunity problems in kids, and those quiet mental health imbalances ppl often don't talk much about. My approach isn’t just pulling herbs off a shelf and calling it a day. I spend time with classical diagnosis—checking Prakriti, figuring out doshas, seeing how much of this is physical and how much is coming from daily routine or emotional burnout. And treatments? Usually a mix of traditional Ayurvedic meds, Panchakarma (only if needed!!), changing food habits, tweaking the daily rhythm, and honestly... just slowing down sometimes. I’m also really into helping ppl understand themselves better—like once someone gets how their body is wired, things make more sense. I talk to patients about what actually suits their dosha, what throws them off balance, and how they can stop chasing quick fixes that don’t stick. Education's a big part of it. And yes, I’ve had patients walk in for constant cold and walk out realizing it’s more about weak agni n poor gut routines than just low immunity. Every case’s diff. Some are simple. Some not. But whether it’s a young woman trying to fix her cycles without hormones or a 6-year-old catching colds every week, I try building plans that last—not just short term relief stuff. Healing takes time and needs trust from both sides. End of the day, I try to keep it rooted—classical where it matters but flexible enough to blend with the world we're livin in rn. That balance is tricky, but worth it.

Dr. Anjali Sehrawat
I am Dr. Anjali Sehrawat. Graduated BAMS from National College of Ayurveda & Hospital, Barwala (Hisar) in 2023—and right now I'm doing my residency, learning a lot everyday under senior clinicians who’ve been in the field way longer than me. It’s kind of intense but also really grounding. Like, it makes you pause before assuming anything about a patient. During my UG and clinical rotations, I got good hands-on exposure... not just in diagnosing through Ayurvedic nidan but also understanding where and when Allopathic tools (like lab reports or acute interventions) help fill the gap. I really believe that if you *actually* want to heal someone, you gotta see the whole picture—Ayurveda gives you that depth, but you also need to know when modern input is useful, right? I’m more interested in chronic & lifestyle disorders—stuff like metabolic imbalances, stress-linked issues, digestive problems that linger and slowly pull energy down. I don’t rush into giving churnas or kashayams just bcz the texts say so... I try to see what fits the patient’s prakriti, daily habits, emotional pattern etc. It’s not textbook-perfect every time, but that’s where the real skill grows I guess. I do a lot of thinking abt cause vs symptom—sometimes it's not the problem you see that actually needs solving first. What I care about most is making sure the treatment is safe, ethical, practical, and honest. No overpromising, no pushing meds that don’t fit. And I’m always reading or discussing sth—old Samhitas or recent journals, depends what the case demands. My goal really is to build a practice where people feel seen & understood, not just “managed.” That's where healing actually begins, right?

Dr. Prasad Pentakota
ChatGPT said: I am Dr. P. Prasad, and I’ve been in this field for 20+ years now, working kinda across the board—General Medicine, Neurology, Dermatology, Cardiology—you name it. Didn’t start out thinking I’d end up spanning that wide, but over time, each area sort of pulled me in deeper. And honestly, I like that mix. It lets me look at a patient not just through one lens but a whole system-wide view... makes more sense when treating something that won’t fit neatly in one category. I’ve handled everything from day-to-day stuff like hypertension, diabetes, or skin infections to more serious neuro and cardiac problems. Some cases are quick—diagnose, treat, done. Others take time, repeated check-ins, figuring out what’s really going on beneath those usual symptoms. And that’s where the detail matters. I’m pretty big on thorough diagnosis and patient education—because half the problem is ppl just not knowing what’s happening inside their own body. What’s changed for me over years isn’t just knowledge, it’s how much I lean on listening. If you miss what someone didn’t say, you might also miss their actual illness. And idk, after seeing it play out so many times, I do believe combining updated medical practice with basic empathy really shifts outcomes. Doesn’t have to be complicated... it just has to be consistent. I keep up with research too—new drugs, diagnostics, cross-specialty updates etc., not because it’s trendy, but cuz it’s necessary. Patients come in better read now than ever. You can’t afford to fall behind. The end goal’s the same tho—help them heal right, not just fast. Ethical practice, evidence-based, and sometimes just being there to explain what’s going on. That’s what I stick to.

Dr. Keerthana PV
I am an Ayurvedic doctor who kinda grew into this path naturally—my roots are in Kerala, and I did my internship at VPSV Ayurveda College in Kottakkal, which honestly was one of the most eye-opening stages of my life. That place isn’t just a college, it’s a deep well of real Ayurveda. The kind that’s lived, not just studied. During my time there, I didn’t just observe—I *practiced*. Diagnosing, treating, understanding the patient beyond their symptoms, all that hands-on stuff that textbooks don’t really teach. It’s where I learned the rhythm of classical Kerala Ayurveda, the art of pulse reading, and how Panchakarma ain’t just about detox but more about deep repair. I work closely with patients—always felt more like a guide than just a doctor tbh. Whether it's about fixing a chronic issue or preventing one from happening, I focus on the full picture. I give a lot of attention to diet (pathya), routine, mental clutter, and stress stuff. Counseling on these isn’t an ‘extra’—I see it as a part of healing. And not the preachy kind either, more like what works *for you*, your lifestyle, your space. Also yeah—I’m a certified Smrithi Meditation Consultant from Kottakkal Ayurveda School of Excellence. This kinda allowed me to mix mindfulness with medicine, which I find super important, especially in today’s distracted world. I integrate meditation where needed—some patients need a virechana, some just need to breathe better before they sleep. There’s no one-size-fits-all and I kinda like that part of my job the most. I don’t claim to know it all, but I listen deeply, treat with care, and stay true to the Ayurvedic principles I was trained in. My role feels less about ‘curing’ and more about nudging people back to their natural balance... it’s not quick or flashy, but it feels right.

Dr. Shruti Shukla
I am Dr. Shruti Shukla, an Ayurvedic physician with 8+ years of clinical practice—though honestly it still feels like I’m learning something new from each patient I see. My work’s rooted in classical Ayurvedic principles, but I don’t just stick to textbook ideas. I adapt them to real-world problems. Every case feels different, and that’s exactly what keeps this path meaningful for me. Over the years I’ve dived deep into patient-focused, evidence-informed Ayurveda. I’ve taken part in national and international conferences—some academic, some more practical—and they really helped sharpen how I see this field evolving. Not just theory. I mean applying Ayurveda to actual lives, to real bodies under stress, fatigue, post-viral weakness, hormonal chaos… the usual list, right? Recently I trained hands-on in Panchakarma equipment in Mandi, Himachal—and that really changed how I approach detox and rasayana (rejuvenation). It's one thing to read about Basti or Virechana and another to apply it based on a person’s prakriti, state of agni, mental state, even seasonal timing. Panchakarma isn't just cleansing—it’s tuning the body back to center, when done correctly. During the COVID-19 wave I was the Nodal Officer for home isolation in Solan. That period? intense. But it also taught me how much people need calm, clear care when systems are under pressure. Organizing care at that scale made me better at thinking clinically and practically—balancing theory and crisis. Now most of my practice revolves around customizing care—using herbs, diet corrections, daily routine tweaks, therapies where needed. Sometimes just explaining what's happening in the body gives a patient more strength than any medicine. I work with stress disorders, chronic fatigue, digestive complaints, joint pains, women’s health... but also general preventive wellness, like seasonal transition support and immunity care. Ayurveda isn’t about quick fixes—it’s about seeing the full picture. And walking that path gently, not forcefully. If that’s what you’re looking for, I’m here to help guide you through it.

Dr. Nisha Bisht
I am an Ayurvedic physician with over 10 years of real, everyday experience—both in the clinical side and in managing systems behind the scenes. My journey started at Jiva Ayurveda in Faridabad, where I spent around 3 years juggling in-clinic and telemedicine consultations. That time taught me how different patient care can look when it’s just you, the person’s voice, and classical texts. No fancy setups—just your grasp on nidan and your ability to *listen properly*. Then I moved into a Medical Officer role at Uttaranchal Ayurved College in Dehradun, where I stayed for 7 years. It was more than just outpatient care—I was also involved in academic work, teaching students while continuing to treat patients. That phase really pushed me to re-read things with new eyes. You explain something to students one day and then end up applying it differently the next day on a patient. The loop between theory and practice became sharper there. Right now, I’m working as Deputy Medical Superintendent at Shivalik Hospital (part of the Shivalik Ayurved Institute in Dehradun). It’s a dual role—consulting patients *and* making sure the hospital ops run smooth. I get to ensure that the Ayurvedic care we deliver is both clinically sound and logistically strong. From patient case planning to supporting clinical staff and overseeing treatment quality—I keep an eye on all of it. Across all these years, my focus hasn’t changed much—I still work to blend classical Ayurved with today’s healthcare structure in a way that feels practical, safe and real. I don’t believe in overloading patients or selling “quick detox” ideas. I work on balancing doshas, rebuilding agni, planning proper chikitsa based on the person’s condition and constitution. Whether it’s lifestyle disorders, seasonal issues, chronic cases, or plain unexplained fatigue—I try to reach the cause before anything else. I still believe that Ayurved works best when it’s applied with clarity and humility—not overcomplicated or oversold. That’s the approach I carry into every patient room and every team meeting. It’s a long road, but it’s one I’m fully walking.
