Benefits of Sanjivani Vati
1. Chronic Fever
Chronic or persistent fevers are the type of fever that lasts more than 10 to 14 days. It could be caused due to a mild infection or chronic condition. As per Ayurveda, there are two factors that can lead to high fever, 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. Sanjivani Vati 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 absorption of food, preventing the formation of Ama.

Swallow with lukewarm water
Preferably after meals water once or twice a day
To get rid of the symptoms of Fever
2. Common Cold
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. Sanjivani Vati is an effective ayurvedic medicine in managing cough and cold. Sanjivani Vati controls cough, releases mucus, clears air passages, thus allowing the patient to breathe freely. This is due to its Kapha balancing property.
3. Indigestion
Indigestion, also known as dyspepsia and stomach upset, is a state of an incomplete process of digestion. It can be characterized by a sensation of pain or discomfort in the upper abdominal region accompanied by a feeling of fullness, bloating, and flatulence. 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).
Sanjivani Vati is one of the best Ayurvedic preparations which helps to manage indigestion by digesting the Ama due to its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestion) properties.

Swallow with fresh ginger juice
Preferably after meals water once or twice a day
To get rid of the symptoms of indigestion
4. Rheumatoid arthritis
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. It is carried to different parts of the body through Vata. This Ama, instead of being absorbed in the body, gets accumulated in the joints. Sanjivani Vati helps to reduce Ama as it has Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestion) nature and Vata balancing property. These properties provide relief in the symptoms of rheumatoid arthritis-like joint pain and swelling.
5. Diarrhea
Diarrhea is a condition in which a person suffers from watery stools, usually more than 3 times a day. This condition may occur due to factors like contaminated food and water. In addition, other factors like stress and toxins may result in the imbalance of Vata dosha which disturbs the functioning of digestive fire (Agni), causing Agnimandya (weak digestive fire). This aggravated Vata brings fluids in the intestine from various tissues of the body and mixes them with the stool which leads to diarrhea. Sanjivani Vati is an effective Ayurvedic preparation that helps to digest the Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion) because of Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties and reduce the symptoms of diarrhea. It helps to balance the Vata dosha, which in turn leads to the prevention of diarrhea
