Lavangadi Vati

Lavangadi Vati
Lavangadi Vati is an Ayurvedic formulation commonly used for the treatment of asthma, cough, and fever[1]. It is a mixture of different herbs like clove, black paper, Bibhitaki, black catechu, acacia, etc., which when combined provides various health-benefiting results.

Lavangadi Vati contains cloves which help control cough, release mucus, and clear air passages, helping the patient breathe freely. According to Ayurveda, Lavangadi Vati has Kapha and Vata balancing properties which help fight the symptoms of allergic rhinitis. This Kapha balancing property releases sputum out of the respiratory tract, thereby helping manage the symptoms of bronchitis. Taking Lavangadi Vati helps balance Kapha and removes excess mucus from the lungs. This gives relief from the symptoms of cough and asthma

Lavangadi Vati is available in tablet form. Take 1-2 tablets twice a day or as directed by the doctor to get relief from the symptoms of cough and fever. You can take it with water, preferably after meals. You can take the tablets with honey also. Just crush the tablets and mix them with honey.

Lavangadi Vati is generally well tolerated and does not have any side effects when taken in the recommended dose. However, it is advisable to consult the doctor before using Lavangadi Vati.

Benefits of Lavangadi Vati

1. Cough
A cough is quite a common ailment, which usually happens with the cold. It is commonly known as Kapha disorder in Ayurveda. A cough is generally caused by the accumulation of mucus in the respiratory tract. Lavangadi Vati is an effective herb in managing cough and cold. Clove controls cough, releases mucus, clears air passages, thus allowing the patient to breathe freely. This is due to its Kapha balancing property.

Tip
-Take 1-2 tablets twice a day
-Have it with water or honey, preferably after meals
-Crush the prescribed tablets and mix some honey for better absorption
#This will help provide relief from the symptoms of cough and cold.

2. Allergic Rhinitis
Allergic rhinitis is also called hay fever. It is an allergic reaction that causes sneezing, congestion, an itchy nose, and a sore throat. According to Ayurveda, allergic rhinitis is known as Vata-Kaphaja Pratishyaya which is caused due to impaired digestion and imbalance of Vata and Kapha. Taking Lavangadi Vati helps fight the symptoms of allergic rhinitis as it has Kapha and Vata balancing properties.

3. Bronchitis
Bronchitis is a condition in which there is an inflammation in the windpipe and the bronchi (branches) of the lungs which results in the accumulation of sputum. In Ayurveda, Bronchitis is known as Kasa Roga. It is caused due to an imbalance of Vata and Kapha doshas. When Vata dosha gets imbalanced, it blocks the Kapha dosha in the respiratory tract (windpipe) resulting in the accumulation of sputum. This condition further results in congestion in the respiratory tract that obstructs the air pathway. Lavangadi Vati is an Ayurvedic preparation that can help remove excessive sputum from the respiratory tract. This is due to its Kapha balancing properties.

4. Asthma
Asthma is an inflammatory condition in which the airways to the lungs swell and narrow. It can make breathing difficult and trigger coughing. According to Ayurveda, the main doshas involved in asthma are Vata and Kapha. The vitiated ‘Vata’ combines with deranged ‘Kapha dosha’ in the lungs causing obstruction in the respiratory passage. This results in difficulty in breathing. This condition is known as Swas Roga (asthma). Lavangadi Vati can help control the symptoms of asthma and give relief from breathlessness. Taking Lavangadi Vati helps to balance Kapha and remove excess mucus from the lungs. This gives relief from the symptoms of asthma.
