Shankh bhasma 20gm shri mohata ayurvedic

Shankh Bhasma is a classical Ayurvedic mineral formulation prepared from the purified conch shell.Manufactured by Shree Mohta Ayurveda, this Bhasma is a rich, natural source of calcium carbonate, magnesium, and iron.

It is highly regarded for its “Grahi” (absorbent) and “Pachana” (digestive) properties, making it a primary choice for managing various gastrointestinal disorders.

By balancing the Pitta and Kapha doshas, it effectively neutralizes excessive stomach acid, alleviates burning sensations, and improves the overall functional capacity of the digestive system.

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Shuddha Shankha: The primary ingredient is the conch shell (Turbinella pyrum), which undergoes a rigorous “Shodhana” (purification) process to remove impurities.

• Aloe Vera Juice (Kumari Swarasa): Often used during the “Bhavana” (trituration) process to enhance the cooling and digestive properties of the shell.

• Nimbu Swarasa (Lemon Juice): Frequently used as a processing agent to help break down the calcium carbonate into a highly bioavailable Bhasma form.

• Putas (Incineration): The purified shell is subjected to controlled heating cycles in a specialized furnace to transform it into a fine, white, and medicinally active powder.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Neutralizes Hyperacidity: Acts as a potent natural antacid, providing rapid relief from “Amlapitta” (heartburn), acid reflux, and gastritis.

• Manages Abdominal Pain: Highly effective in treating “Shoola” (colicky pain) and discomfort caused by indigestion or intestinal gas.

• Treats Malabsorption: Its absorbent nature helps in managing “Grahani” (Irritable Bowel Syndrome) and chronic diarrhea by improving stool consistency.

• Relieves Bloating: Helps in reducing “Adhmana” (flatulence) and abdominal distension by stimulating the digestive fire (Agni).

• Calcium Supplementation: Serves as a bioavailable source of calcium to support bone health and manage deficiencies.

Precautions

• Professional Medical Guidance: Although it is a natural calcium source, it should only be taken under the supervision of a qualified Ayurvedic practitioner.

• Specific Administration: It is traditionally administered with specific “Anupanas” (carriers) like honey, lemon juice, or warm water for optimal results.

• Monitor for Constipation: In some individuals, excessive or improper use may lead to mild constipation due to its “Grahi” (astringent) nature.

• Avoidance in Specific Groups: Use with caution during pregnancy and lactation, and only if specifically prescribed by a physician.
