FAQs about Kutajghan Vati benefits
1. Diarrhea
Diarrhea also known as Atisar in Ayurveda is caused due to improper food, impure water, mental stress, and Agnimandya (weak digestive fire). All these factors can aggravate the Vata. This aggravated Vata brings fluid from various tissues of the body into the intestine. This leads to loose, watery motions or diarrhea. Kutajghan Vati helps to control diarrhea by improving digestive fire. This is due to its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties. It also makes the stool thick and controls water loss due to its Grahi (absorbent) and Kashaya (astringent) properties.

Piles are known as Arsh in Ayurveda which is caused by an unhealthy diet and a sedentary lifestyle. This leads to the impairment of all three doshas, mainly Vata.

Sometimes bleeding can also occur in this condition. Kutajghan Vati helps to improve digestive fire because of its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties.
