Benefits of Avipattikara Churna

What are the benefits of Avipattikara Churna for Indigestion?

ayurvedic
Ayurvedic View
According to Ayurveda, indigestion is termed as Agnimandya. This occurs due to an imbalance of Pitta dosha. Whenever the consumed food is left undigested due to Mand Agni (low digestive fire), it results in the formation of Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion). Which causes indigestion.
In simple words, we can say that indigestion is the state of an incomplete process of digestion of the ingested food.
Avipattikara Churna is considered as one of the most effective Ayurvedic Churna to manage indigestion. Taking Avipattikara Churna can help you manage the symptoms of indigestion due to its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties[1].
Tips:
1. Take 2-3 grams of Avipattikara Churna.
2. Swallow with water or buttermilk.
3. Repeat daily once or twice a day after meals until symptoms reduce.

What are the benefits of Avipattikara Churna for Constipation?

Ayurvedic View
Constipation is that painful condition in which a person faces difficulty in emptying the bowels completely or passing out hard and dry stools.
According to Ayurveda constipation is caused due to an aggravation of Vata dosha. Consuming junk foods, excess intake of coffee or tea, sleeping late at night, high-stress level and depression are some of the factors that aggravate Vata dosha in the large intestine and cause constipation.
Due to the imbalance of Vata dosha, the intestines become dry due to Rooksha (dry) property of Vata dosha. This dries the Mala (stool), resulting in constipation.
Avipattikara Churna helps to reduce constipation due to its Rechana (laxative) and Vata balancing properties[1][2].
Tips:
1. Take 2-3 grams of Avipattikara Churna twice daily.
2. Swallow with lukewarm water.
3. Repeat twice daily and once the symptoms subside, you can take once daily.

Ayurvedic View
Acidity means an increased level of acid in the stomach. This happens when the food is left undigested or when Ama is formed inside the body which results in the aggravation of Pitta dosha. An aggravated Pitta impairs the digestive fire leading to improper digestion of food and production of Ama. This Ama gets accumulated in the digestive channels and causes hyperacidity. This also leads to the condition of burning sensation in the chest which is known as heartburn.
Avipattikara Churna reduces acidity due to it’s Rechana (laxative), and Pitta dosha balancing property. It works as a cooling agent by controlling the acid production inside the body[1][2].
Tips:
1. Take 1-2 grams of Avipattikara Churna on an empty stomach.
2. Swallow with cold water.
3. Repeat daily if your condition is chronic.

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.
