Shankh bhasma 5gm shri mohata ayurvedic

Shankh Bhasma, manufactured by Shri Mohta Ayurvedic, is a classical Ayurvedic formulation prepared from conch shells. It is a rich natural source of calcium and is primarily used to treat digestive disorders and calcium deficiencies.

Through the processes of purification (Shodhana) and incineration (Marana), the shell is converted into a fine, white, absorbable ash. It is highly effective in balancing Vata and Pitta doshas, particularly in the gastrointestinal tract.

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Shuddha Shankh (Purified Conch Shell): The sole active ingredient. It primarily consists of Calcium Carbonate. The purification process involves boiling the shells in herbal decoctions (like Aloe Vera or Lemon juice) to remove impurities and enhance its therapeutic properties before it is burnt into ash.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Digestive Support: Highly effective for treating hyperacidity (Amlapitta), heartburn, and gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD).

• Abdominal Relief: Provides quick relief from abdominal pain, colic, bloating, and flatulence by neutralizing excess stomach acid.

• Malabsorption Care: Useful in managing Sprue (Grahani) and chronic diarrhea by improving the absorption of nutrients.

• Calcium Supplement: Acts as a natural supplement for bone health and is used to treat conditions like osteoporosis or rickets.

• Acne & Skin: Due to its cooling nature and Pitta-balancing effect, it is sometimes used to manage inflammatory skin conditions and acne.

Precautions

• Expert Guidance: Should be taken only under the supervision of an Ayurvedic physician to ensure correct dosage.

• Gastric Conditions: While it treats acidity, individuals with very low stomach acid (achlorhydria) should use it with caution.

• Restricted Groups: Consult a doctor before administering to pregnant or breastfeeding women.

• Dosage: Typically taken in very small doses (125mg to 250mg) once or twice a day, usually with honey or lemon juice.
