Importance of Avipattikara Churna in Ayurveda

Avipatti means “to get rid of digestive disorders” in Ayurveda. Avipattikara churna possesses strong antioxidant, anti-inflammatory, and carminative properties that help to cure imbalances related to pitta dosha. It pacifies pitta and aids in treating digestive problems such as diarrhea, constipation, gastritis, heartburn, indigestion, and ulcers, and other stomach-related problems.

Benefits of Avipattikara Churna

Indigestion-

Avipattikar Churna is effective in indigestion due to its appetizer(Deepan) and digestive (Pachan) properties, which help properly digest and relieve indigestion. For this, take 2-3 grams of churna and swallow with water or buttermilk. Repeat it once or twice a day after meals until symptoms start to reduce.

Constipation-

Due to the imbalance of Vata dosha, the intestines become dry due to the dry property of Vata dosha. This makes the stool dry and results in constipation. Avipattikara Churna helps to reduce constipation due to its vata balancing and laxative properties. For this, intake of 2-3 grams of Avipattikara Churna twice daily with lukewarm water will provide relief.

Acidity-

Acidity is a stomach condition in which the stomach produces acid in excess when the food is left undigested or due to the formation of Ama in the body which results in aggravated Pitta dosha. Avipattikara Churna reduces acidity as it has laxative and Pitta dosha balancing properties. It works as a cooling agent by controlling the acid production inside the body.

Kidney-related problems-

Avipattikara Churna lowers the risk of kidney problems by improving kidney function. Additionally, avipattikara churna has shown positive results in eliminating kidney stones. This churna can also treat nephritis by lowering inflammation of kidneys, tubules, glomeruli, and interstitial tissue.

Gastritis-

The natural healing properties of avipattikara churna flush out the acid from the intestine and boosts gut health, preventing further problems. Moreover, it also has significant anti-inflammatory properties which effectively pacifies the aggravated tissue layer of the gut.

Obesity-

Avipattikara Churna has appetizer and digestive properties that help to reduce fat accumulation. For this, take 3-4 grams, twice a day after meals with lukewarm water. For using it as a laxative, take it once at bedtime.

Gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD)-

Avipattikar churna provides relief from Gastroesophageal reflux disorder (GERD). Irritation occurs in the food pipe lining due to acid reflux which further results in heartburn, throat pain, and chest pain.
