Ichhabhedi ras 100gm Krishna Gopal Ayurved bhavan

Ichhabhedi Ras is a powerful Ayurvedic herbo-mineral formulation primarily used as a strong purgative to treat chronic constipation and abdominal bloating.

Produced by Krishna Gopal Ayurved Bhavan (Kalerada), this medicine is unique because its purgative action continues as long as the patient drinks cold water and typically stops once the patient consumes warm water or thin buttermilk.

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Shuddha Parad: Purified mercury, which acts as a catalyst to enhance the therapeutic action of the other ingredients.

• Shuddha Gandhak: Purified sulfur, used to balance the mercury and provide antimicrobial benefits to the gut.

• Shunthi (Dry Ginger): Assists in digestion and helps reduce the griping pain often associated with strong purgation.

• Maricha (Black Pepper): Stimulates the digestive fire and helps in the absorption of the formulation.

• Shuddha Jayapala (Croton tiglium): The core ingredient; a very potent purgative seed that induces the clearing of the bowels.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Severe Constipation: Acts as a “Virechana” (purgative) agent to clear stubborn, hard stools and chronic constipation.

• Ascites and Edema: Helps in removing excess fluid accumulation from the body by inducing controlled purgation (Jalodara).

• Detoxification: Assists in the removal of deeply embedded toxins (Ama) from the intestines.

• Abdominal Bloating: Relieves pressure and heaviness in the stomach caused by gas and fecal stagnation.

• Skin Disorders: Occasionally used in Ayurveda to “cleanse the blood” by flushing the digestive system, which can help with certain skin conditions.

Precautions

• Extreme Caution: This is a very high-potency purgative; it should never be taken without the direct advice and supervision of an Ayurvedic physician.

• Dehydration Risk: Because it induces multiple bowel movements, there is a significant risk of dehydration. Patients must follow the specific water intake protocols provided by their doctor.

• Contraindications: Strictly prohibited for children, the elderly, pregnant women, and those with weak constitutions or inflammatory bowel conditions (like Ulcerative Colitis).

• Dosing Protocol: Usually, only 1 tablet (approx. 125mg to 250mg) is taken. Taking a large quantity from the 100g pack at once is dangerous.

• Emergency Stop: To stop the purgative effect, it is traditionally advised to drink warm water or consume a light, warm porridge.
