Vidangarishta

Vidangarishta
Vidangarishta, also called Vidangarist and Vidangarishtam, is a herbal Ayurvedic concoction used to treat bacterial infection in the body. It shows antibacterial and anthelmintic potential which helps eradicate the growth of bacteria. It works by causing paralysis and the death of worms[1].

According to Ayurveda, Vidangarishta has Krimighna (anti-worms) property that provides efficient results in the case of worm infestation when consumed regularly. It also helps manage indigestion and reduce Ama by improving digestive fire. In addition to that, Vidangarishta act as a blood purifier due to its Shodhana (purification) property. It also has Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties which aid in managing problems related to the digestive system like loss of appetite, thirst, bloating, and flatulence.

Vidangarishta is available in liquid/syrup form. You can take 15-20ml Vidangarishta or as directed by the physician to get relief from worm infestation. Mix it with equal amounts of lukewarm water. Take it once or twice a day, preferably after meals.
Vidangarishta 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 Vidangarishta.

Benefits of Vidangarishta

1. Worm infestation
Ayurveda describes the worms as Krimi. Worm growth is encouraged by low Agni (weak digestive fire). Low digestive fire is a primary causative factor in creating an ideal host body for worms. Vindagarishata has a unique ingredient named Vidanga that has a strong Krimighna (anti-worms) property that gives good results in the case of worm infestation when consumed regularly.

Tip
-Take 15-20ml Vidangarishta
-Mix it with equal amounts of water
-Have it twice a day, preferably after meals
#This will help get rid of the symptoms of worms infestation.

2. 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). Vingadarishta helps manage indigestion and reduce Ama by improving digestive fire.

3. Skin disease
Skin disease generally occurs due to an imbalance of any of the three doshas. This might lead to some conditions like itching or irritation. Vidangarishta helps manage skin disease because it removes the toxin from blood and works as a blood purifier due to Shodhan (Purificafication).

4. Loss of appetite
Loss of appetite or anorexia is a condition in which there is little to no urge to eat. As per Ayurveda, the low digestive fire (Mand Agni) in the body may cause indigestion of the food consumed, resulting in the formation of Ama (toxic remains in the body due to improper digestion). This might lead to anorexia or loss of appetite, also known as Aruchi in Ayurveda. It is a condition which results in the imbalance of Vata, Pitta, and Kapha doshas. There are also some psychological factors that may lead to incomplete digestion of food, causing insufficient secretion of gastric juice in the stomach. All such factors may result in loss of appetite. Vidangarishta helps to manage the loss of appetite, thirst, bloating, and flatulence. This is due to its Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive) properties.
