I have the said medicine of unjha pharmacy. But it has mentioned that for the use of cold and cough and rhinitis. Please guide me whether it can be used for heart problems along with Arjuna chhal. Or it can be used for tinnitus and ear problems.
1. Yes, Laxmi Vilas Ras is used for cold and cough.
2. Yes, it is also used for heart problems. The same medicine has several indications.
3. Yes, it can help to treat ear problems, as per classical texts. We never use it for this.
4. We don’t have experience or authentic information if it can work for tinnitus or not.
For tinnitus, Sarivadi Vati is used internally and Karna Purana is advised.
Usually, treatment depends on the cause.
If there is no infection, then Karna Purana can help.
In this case, Karna Purana with Narayan Tail, Vishnu Taila, Nirgundi Tail, or Bala Taila is prescribed.
In addition, Nasya with Anu Thailam or Narayan Tail is also advised.

AYURVEDA SHOULD SERIOUSLY SERVE THE PEOPLE & ESPECIALLY POOR PEOPLE!
WHY ARE THE AYURVEDA MEDICINES ARE SO SO SO COSTLY? EVEN WITH ISHA YOGA CENTER’S ARE VERY VERY VERY COSTLY. IS THERE NO CONSCIENCE AT ALL PLEASE? KINDLY CONFIRM & REPLY BACK. REGARDS.
Not all ayurvedic medicines are expensive. A very few medicines that contain gold, silver or other minerals are expensive. Other medicines are affordable for all people.
The preparation process of some medicines is very complicated. Price of medicines also depends on the cost of labor.
