Shankha vati 500tab By Ayurved Rasashala

Shankh Vati is a classical Ayurvedic tablet formulation widely used for managing various digestive disorders.

Ayurved Rasashala prepares these tablets using a combination of “Ksharas” (alkaline substances) and “Lavan” (salts) along with potent digestive herbs to provide quick relief from abdominal discomfort.

It is specifically formulated to act as a carminative and a digestive stimulant, helping to balance the Vata and Kapha doshas within the gastrointestinal tract.

This 60-tablet pack is convenient for managing acute symptoms of indigestion, bloating, and loss of appetite.

Detailed Ingredient Information

• Shankh Bhasma: Calcinated conch shell ash that acts as a powerful natural antacid.

• Kshara (Yavakshara and Sarjikshara): Purified alkaline extracts that help in neutralizing acidity and clearing digestive blockages.

• Pancha Lavana: A combination of five salts (Saindhav, Samudra, Vida, Sauvarchala, and Romaka) to stimulate gastric juices.

• Shunti (Zingiber officinale): Ginger, used to enhance digestive fire and reduce nausea.

• Maricha (Piper nigrum): Black pepper, which stimulates the secretion of digestive enzymes.

• Pippali (Piper longum): Helps in the detoxification of the gut and improves metabolic rate.

• Shuddha Vatsanabha (Aconitum ferox): Purified monkshood, used in minute processed quantities to relieve severe abdominal pain.

• Hingu (Asafoetida): A potent carminative that aids in the expulsion of intestinal gas.

• Nimbu Swarasa (Lemon Juice): Used as a processing medium (Bhavana) to enhance the efficacy of the tablets.

Key Therapeutic Benefits

• Relieves Indigestion: Effective in treating “Ajirna,” where food remains undigested, leading to discomfort.

• Reduces Flatulence and Bloating: Acts quickly to expel trapped gas and reduce abdominal distension.

• Alleviates Abdominal Pain: Helps soothe spasmodic pain and cramps in the stomach and intestines.

• Manages Hyperacidity: Helps balance stomach pH levels, reducing the sensation of heartburn and acid reflux.

• Improves Appetite: Stimulates the “Jatharagni” (digestive fire), helping those with a low desire to eat.

Precautions

• Professional Consultation: It is highly recommended to take this under the guidance of an Ayurvedic physician, especially since it contains purified Vatsanabha.

• Hypertension: Individuals with high blood pressure should be cautious due to the high salt content (Pancha Lavana).

• Pregnancy and Children: Not recommended for pregnant women, lactating mothers, or young children unless specifically prescribed.

• Gastric Ulcers: Those with active peptic or gastric ulcers should avoid this unless advised otherwise by a doctor.

• Dosage: The standard dose is 1 to 2 tablets twice a day, typically taken after meals with lukewarm water or buttermilk.
