Benefits of Mahasudarshan churna
1. Chronic fever
According to Ayurveda, there are two factors that can lead to chronic fever (fever that lasts for more than 10 days), the first is Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion) and the second is any foreign particle or organisms that invade the body. Mahasudarshan Churna helps in reducing fever due to its Javarghana (antipyretic) property. Its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties also help reduce fever by improving digestion and preventing the formation of Ama.
2. Loss of appetite
Loss of appetite can be characterized as a reduced desire to eat. and is caused due to Agnimandya (weak digestion) and an aggravation of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha dosha. It can also be due to psychological factors, leading to incomplete digestion of food and causing insufficient secretion of gastric juice in the stomach. Mahasudarshan Churna helps to improve appetite by promoting healthy digestive fire due to its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties.
3. Diabetes mellitus
Diabetes also known as Madhumeha is due to an aggravation of Vata and impaired digestion. Impaired digestion leads to an accumulation of Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion) and impairs the function of insulin. Mahasudarshan Churna is beneficial for controlling high sugar levels due to its Tikta (bitter) and Kapha- Pitta balancing properties.
