Chitrakadi vati 10gm  Krishn Gopal ayurved bhavan

Chitrakadi Vati from Krishna Gopal Ayurved Bhavan (Kaleda) is one of the most widely used Ayurvedic remedies for digestive disorders.

Its name is derived from its main ingredient, Chitraka (Plumbago zeylanica), which is considered one of the best herbs for increasing “Agni” (digestive fire).

Key Ingredients

This formulation is a potent blend of warming herbs and various salts:

• Chitraka (Leadwort): Stimulates the liver and stomach to secrete digestive enzymes.

• Pippalimoola: The root of long pepper, effective in treating bloating and gas.

• Five Salts (Pancha Lavana): Includes Rock salt, Black salt, Sea salt, Vida salt, and Sambhar salt to aid digestion and soften stool.

• Trikatu: Sunthi (Ginger), Maricha (Black Pepper), and Pippali (Long Pepper).

• Hingu (Asafetida): Powerful carminative to relieve gas.

• Ksharas: Yava Kshara (Barley ash) and Sarjika Kshara to treat acidity and clear toxins.

• Bhavana (Processing): The herbs are processed in Lemon juice or Pomegranate juice to enhance their potency.

Key Benefits & Indications

Chitrakadi Vati is primarily used to treat conditions caused by Mandagni (low digestive fire) and the accumulation of Ama (undigested toxic waste):

• Indigestion & Flatulence: Rapidly reduces abdominal gas, bloating, and the feeling of heaviness after a meal.

• Loss of Appetite: Excellent for those who have no desire to eat or feel full even after small bites.

• IBS (Grahani): Often used in managing Irritable Bowel Syndrome where there is frequent passing of sticky, undigested stool.

• Metabolism & Weight: By correcting the metabolic rate, it can indirectly support weight management.

• Chronic Constipation: Helps in clearing the bowels when constipation is due to weak digestion.

Precautions & Safety

• High Blood Pressure: Because this medicine contains significant amounts of salt, patients with hypertension should use it only under medical supervision.

• Acidity/Gastritis: Since the ingredients are very hot (Ushna Virya), taking it on an empty stomach might cause a burning sensation in people with high Pitta or stomach ulcers.

• Pregnancy: Generally avoided or used with extreme caution due to the strong nature of Chitraka.
