• Anti-inflammatory: Its cooling nature helps in reducing internal inflammation and generalized body heat.

Precautions

• Digestive Capacity: Due to its Guru (heavy) nature, it may be difficult to digest for those with very weak “Agni” (digestive fire); it is often taken with digestive stimulants.

• Dosage: The standard dose is 3 to 6 grams twice daily, traditionally taken with warm milk and sugar or honey to enhance its tonifying effects.

• Water Intake: Since it has diuretic properties, it is essential to maintain adequate hydration throughout the day.
