Acid Dyspepsia and Indigestion
Avipattikar Churna is effective in acid dyspepsia (indigestion) characterized by loss of appetite, stomach discomfort, nausea, sour and burning vomit, heartburn (Retrosternal Burning) and burning sensation in the throat. The Coconut water (Nariyal Pani) is an excellent adjuvant for Avipattikar Churna in such case. The beneficial ayurvedic medicine for indigestion is as follows.

- Praval Pishti = 500 mg

Heartburn (Retrosternal Burning)This combination should be given immediately after meal with coconut water. This combination is effective for following symptoms.

- Gastroesophageal Reflux
This combination helps neutralizing the acid and impelling the excess acid in the intestines, which relieves the all these gastric symptoms. The regular use of this combination helps healing the metabolic processes and controls the acid production. Furthermore, it balances the acid secretion and reduces the irritation to stomach lining, which helps getting complete relief from the diseases. The complete course of treatment should be at least for 4 weeks to prevent recurrence.
Chronic Gastritis
Gastritis is an inflammation of stomach linings. Several things can play a role in development of chronic gastritis including medications (anti-inflammatory drugs), Helicobacter pylori (H. pylori), etc. All the above when mucus-lined barrier weakens due to these several causes, digestive juices starts affecting the stomach lining and gastritis develops.
Avipattikar Churna is a powerful remedy to expelling the acid from the stomach to the intestines, which helps reducing the inflammation and rebuilding mucus-lined barrier. However, Avipattikar Churna does not provide complete relief and it can just used as supporting other important remedies for used for gastritis. The good herbal remedy for gastritis is as follows.
| Herbal Remedies | Dosage (twice a day) |
| Vanshlochan (Tabasheer) – Bamboo Manna | 500 mg |
| Giloy Sat | 500 mg |
| Amalaki Rasayana | 500 mg |

| Cumin (Jeera) | 500 mg |
GERD (Gastroesophageal reflux disease)
Gastroesophageal reflux disease (GERD) is a chronic form of acid reflux. It occurs when stomach content flows back into the esophagus or food pipe. This irritates the linings of food pipe cause severe heartburn, burning in the throat, dysphagia, chest pain, hoarseness, sour taste, etc.
Avipattikar Churna only prevents flow back of the stomach content impelling it to intestines. However, it has no action on the weakness of the lower esophageal sphincter, which is the main cause of GERD. For removing the root cause, one may require other remedies such as Abhrak Bhasma, Yashad Bhasma, Vanshlochan, Licorice, etc. The combination given in the chronic gastritis is also helpful in this case.
Kidneys & Urinary System
A few ayurvedic doctors are using Avipattikar Churna in kidney diseases, but we have found it very effective in kidney and urinary disorders.
Difficulty in Micturition (Difficulty Passing Urine)
If the prostate is not the cause of difficulty passing the urine, then Avipattikar Churna can help. Avipattikar Churna has diuretic action. It acts on APANA VATA, which induces urination and helps in excretion, as per ayurvedic concept. It corrects the action of APANA VATA, which helps in a proper flow of the urine. Avipattikar Churna helps in difficulty initiating urination and frequent urination with a few drops of urine.
Kidney Stones
Many ayurvedic doctors have ignored the use of Avipattikar Churna in kidney stones, but it is highly effective and even it can work alone in removing the kidney stones. Hajrul Yahood Bhasma is used with Avipattikar Churna for getting promising results.
Nephritis & Nephrotic Syndrome
Avipattikar Churna has anti-inflammatory action, but this action is more visible on kidneys. It reduces inflammation of kidneys, glomeruli, tubules and interstitial tissue. Therefore, it is effective in all types of nephritis including glomerulonephritis, interstitial nephritis and tubulo-interstitial nephritis.
In Nephrotic Syndrome, Avipattikar Churna is used along with Chandraprabha Vati and Punarnava Powder or Punarnavarishta. This combination reduces protein loss in the urine, reduces swelling (edema) and excess fluid retention.

How to use Avipattikar Churna
1 teaspoon of Avipattikar Churna should be taken before meal two times a day with cold water.
Can Avipattikar Churna be used for long term without any side effects or should be used in a limited way? Thanks.
Avipattikar Churna contains Nishoth, which is not advisable for long-term use, but one can use it on long-term basis if it is recommended for the treatment of any chronic disease.
i suffer from intertitial nephtiritis. i have been taking avipattikar churna with chadraprabha vati twice daily before food and have noticed weight gain. can i continue for long term?
How does the Avipattikar Churna help in Constipation when it does not contain Sanai (Senna)?
Avipattikar Churna contains 33% Nishoth (Turpeth), which is also a mild laxative. Action in constipation is due to it. Furthermore, Avipattikar Churna also releases bile salts from the liver and gall bladder, which induces natural peristalsis movement in the intestine. This process helps to push the fecal matter in the intestines and reducing the habit of constipation.
Generally, both remedies do not have much impact on body weight. These can be used for long-term, but consult your local doctor before taking it.
I am suffering from antral gastritis since last 5-6 years. I get burps with loud sound. I took many allopathic, homeopathic and ayurvedic medicines but they provided temporary relief. 2 and 1/2 months back I started taking Avipattikar Churna with some combination. I got a great relief. I continued for 2 months then stopped. Again I started facing the same problem. Now I have again started it. I understand that it’s not advisable to take Avipattikar Churna in long run. But my point is that since it contains all natural things, isn’t it better to take it rather than allopathic antacids which are chemicals and have sever side effects in long run? Especially if I don’t face any diarrhea situation after taking it.
If we are taking Avipattikar churnam what are the food items should be avoided for effective results.

Can ulcer patients take this churna?
Hello,
I have inflammation in the digestive tract, I have issues with constipation, bloating gas accumulation and improper digestion. Also, there is urine leakage always in the inners. I was told to take avipittakari churna and mahashankha bati. When I took avipittakari, I again got shivering with fever, the physician told me it is because of infection. This was their earlier also, before taking avipittakari, in 15 days I got 2 times fever like this. Is this Medicine correct for my issue or not. Pls suggest.
Thank u
If you also had/have abdominal pain, then Avipattikar Churna is contraindicated. Your symptoms appear to be related to Pitta and Vata aggravation. Maha Shankh Vati helps with Vata and Kapha Dosha, but it contains hot ingredients, which might help with Kapha-anuband Pitta, but not increased Pitta or inflammation of any part of gastrointestinal tracts.
Thank u for the response. I would like one more point , I do get shivering continued with fever regularly, the doc gives some antibiotics , it cures but again relapses back in sometime. I have don’t autoimmune related tests and its all normal. Now also I don’t get fever , but I have shivering in day or night. Why is this happening, Is it related to urine infection or something else. At this time digestion is worse and I don’t get sleep at all. And also if I eat enough also, I feel hunger, even in night times, and I am not able to control it. What is all these related to. What should I do. I am really stressed. I am not getting a solution and I am really suffering . pls suggest
It is more likely due to UTI. You should get a proper treatment for this.
Thank u for the response. I had done a urine routine recently and it was normal.
I have been accumulated with undigested food from many years, due to gastritis and constipation. I am also taking avipittakari and other medicine. It is working . could u pls suggest any cleansing treatment for this type of toxins to be removed from my body which is an accumulation from a long time.
Thank you
