Abhayarishta helps to manage piles by stimulating digestive fire and removing constipation due to its Vata balancing and Rechana (laxative) properties.

This might lead to anorexia or loss of appetite, also known as Aruchi in Ayurveda. It is a condition which results in the imbalance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. There are also some psychological factors that lead to incomplete digestion of food, causing insufficient secretion of gastric juice in the stomach, thereby resulting in loss of appetite. Abhayarishta helps to manage the loss of appetite, thirst, bloating, and flatulence. This is due to its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties.
