Yashtimadhu

[Guest guest]

Hello

 

 

 

Yashtimadhu is also used as vamanopaga (herbs that help in vaman, as

adjuvant). Vaman (induced vomiting) is useful treatment modality for kapha

dosha. Kapha normally increases during Vasanta Ritu (spring season). Kapha

dosha which is accumulated during winter " melts " during spring season giving

rise to many kapha ailments. This can be clearly observed here in India

(because of distinct season changes). Hence, we perform lots of vaman

treatments every year during this season, i.e., during late March, April,

and early May. Melted kapha is rather easy to be pulled out of the system

as opposed to the “solidified kapha.” Recently, I gave a Vaman treatment to

a 15-year-old girl for obesity. She is one of those who put on weight even

if they eat relatively small amounts of food. Although, her diet consisted

of excessive use of groundnut and Oil as a cause of kapha vitiation. I gave

her stomachful of yashtimadhu decoction, she took about 2 liters. This was

followed Madanaphala pulp. The results were spectacular. After the usual

waiting period of about 20 minutes, she vomited great amount of “sticky

kapha,” actually lumps of it. This kapha could be the cause of the

‘tendency to put on weight. Yashti madhu kwatha is palatable due to sweet

taste, but may give rise to nausea after a few gulps.

 

 

 

For regular use, my guru always used yashtimadhu in very little quantity

(100 mg twice daily or so).

Namastye Dr. Thite and group members;

 

This is good understanding not only as the details are of interest to me, but

when using licorice (yastimadhu) by adding a little for sweetness to a baby's

medicine (the St. John's wort we talked about for instance) care must be taken

and too much would be much less than for an adult. Little ones may vomit from

multiple causes and this is good to remember,it would rule out first cause as

allergy or innapropriateness of the other herb, or some other source.

 

A welcome to new vaidya he/she calls self a student of Ayurveda, please

introduce yourself here? Dr. Shaliniy.

 

Warmly,

Ysha
