FAQs about Lavan Bhaskar Churna benefits
1. Anorexia
Loss of appetite or anorexia also known as Aruchi in Ayurveda is a condition in which there is little to no urge to eat. According to Ayurveda, anorexia is a condition that results in the imbalance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. It is caused due to a low digestive fire (Mand Agni) which affects the digestion process, resulting in the formation of Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion). Lavan Bhaskar Churna helps manage the formation of Ama due to its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestion) properties. It also helps to improve the Pitta Dosha, which further brings Agni (digestive fire) to its normal state. Altogether, it helps improve the appetite.
2. Indigestion
Lavan Bhaskar Churna helps to correct indigestion. According to Ayurveda indigestion means the state of an incomplete process of digestion. The main reason for indigestion is aggravated Kapha which causes Agnimandya (weak digestive fire). Lavan Bhaskar Churna improves Agni (digestive fire) due to its Deepan (appetizer) property and helps to digest food because of its Pachan nature.
3. Irritable bowel syndrome
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) is a common disorder that affects the digestive system, mostly the large intestine causing cramps, abdominal pain, bloating, gas, and diarrhea, or constipation. According to Ayurveda, it is caused by an imbalance of Pachak Agni (digestive fire). Lavan Bhaskar Churna helps improve Pachak Agni because of its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties, improving symptoms of irritable bowel syndrome.
4. Rheumatoid arthritis (RA)
Rheumatoid Arthritis (RA) is known as Aamavata in Ayurveda. Amavata is a disease in which vitiation of Vata dosha and accumulation of Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion) takes place in the joints. Amavata starts with a weak digestive fire and leads to the formation of Ama. This Ama is carried to different locations through Vata but instead of being absorbed, it gets accumulated in the joints. Lavan Bhaskar Churna reduces Ama due to its Deepan (appetizer), Pachan (digestion), and Vata balancing properties and eases symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis-like joint pain and swelling.
5. Constipation
According to Ayurveda constipation is caused due to an aggravation of Vata dosha. Consuming junk foods, excess intake of coffee or tea, and sleeping late at night are some of the factors that aggravate Vata dosha. The use of Lavan Bhaskar Churna helps to correct constipation due to its Rechana (laxative) and Vata balancing properties.
