Acidity, Heartburn & Gastritis
As per above analysis of property and benefits of ingredients, Zandu Pancharishta is beneficial in moderating the secretion of acid in the stomach. Therefore, it reduces excess acid production, but keeps appetite at optimum level. Sometimes, hyperacidity can also result in loss of appetite and anorexia due to burning in the throat, chest and abdomen. Many patients have reported this. Pancharishta is also beneficial for these people. However, they may require praval pishti, mukta pishti and amla (Indian gooseberry) and mulethi powder in addition to this.
Gas, flatulence, Bloating, Abdominal distension or Feeling of Heaviness in the abdomen
Zandu Pancharishta contains ingredients, which have Antiflatulent and carminative effects. Ingredients like raisin, aloe vera, cumin, coriander, Trikatu, Manjistha, Ajmod, Shati, Jeera and Laung all are helpful for reducing intestinal gas, flatulence, bloating and abdominal heaviness.
Loss of appetite & Indigestion
Zandu Pancharishta increases appetite and helps in Indigestion. Some herbs in this formulation have appetizer characteristics and digestive stimulant properties.
Constipation
The main ingredients of Zandu Pancharishta are raisins and aloe Vera, which help in acute as well as in chronic constipation. Ashwagandha and shatavari provides strength to intestines and abdominal muscles, which helps moving the foods. Dashmool, Giloy and mulethi improve peristalsis movement. Some herbs in Pancharishta improve liver functions, which helps in a proper flow of bile into intestines, which also improves peristalsis. All these things help person getting rid of all types of constipation.
Irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) with constipation and linked with stress
However, Zandu Pancharishta may not be beneficial for people with IBS in which diarrhea or loose stool is a big trouble, but it is effective for people who suffer from IBS with constipation as predominant symptom. All herbs in Pancharishta reduce bloating and constipation. Stress is also another precipitating factor for irritable bowel syndrome. Ashwangandha and licorice helps fighting off this factor too. Therefore, Pancharishta will also be effective for stress linked IBS.
Mild abdominal chronic pain
Dashmool and cumin have carminative and antispasmodic action, which helps in mild abdominal chronic pain. The main characteristic of this pain is constant dull ache in the abdomen. It may also be associated with abdominal heaviness and gas. In all these, Zandu Pancharishta helps.

Mouth Ulcer

A month back, I was operated for enlarged prostrate (4th June, 2015). Subsequently, the Creatinine and Urea levels have to remain normal i.e. 0.67 to 1.17 mg/dL for creatinine and 17.00 to 43.00 mg/dL). I also have this burping problem and when this happens, I feel fatigued. After burping things, become normal. Excess gas is also there. This problem becomes o.k. after I used Zandu Pancharishta.
My question: Does using Zandu will have any effect on the Creatinine & urea levels?
Please clarify. (I hope Pancharishta does not have any metallic content).
Thanks and regards
P. K. Bose. (age. 65 years)
1. According to the ingredients written on Zandu Pancharishta bottle, it does not contain any heavy metal content. So, it may not be responsible for any renal injury.
2. I also hope that Zandu Pancharishta may not cause this as most of its ingredients we are using in our Indian kitchen every day. It does not contain even any poisonous herb. According to me, some of its ingredients help improving kidney functions. These herbs include raisins, dashmool, triphala, Giloy, dhania, jeera, etc.
3. Some allopathic medicines are also responsible for damaging kidneys. For example, these may include antibiotics such as streptomycin, gentamicin, painkillers such as ibuprofen (commonly used), naproxen (used for headache or migraine), antihypertensive drugs such as ACE inhibitors, chemical dyes used during radiographic tests and many more. The role of these medicines should also be ruled out.
Can the patient with high blood pressure and similarly with low blood pressure use pancharishta?
Yes, Pancharishta does not contain any ingredient, which can affect blood pressure negatively. However, some ingredients (Arjuna, Ashwagandha etc.) in Pancharishta strengthen the heart muscles and improve heart functions. People with hypertension or hypotension both can use Pancharishta safely.
I am taking Zandu Pancharishta for last three days. I use to take it twice after meal with same quantity of water. But I am suffering from throat & chest burn. Stool is not clear. Please advise me.

Sir,
I have been suffering from a very strange problem of digestion for the last 25 years or so. There is huge amount of gas build up below chest. The gas DOES NOT either pass as burping or fart. Because of this gas, whole night, I keep tossing from one side to another. This distension remains all the time. Whenever gas passes, I feel relaxed, but it’s very rare.
The surprising thing is that I have no Acidity even then why so much gas and that too no passage of gas.
I have taken all the measures like salad, fruits, etc.
Is Pancharist going to help me in this case? Please advice.
In such case, Pancharista will be beneficial.

Took medicines for almost 4-5 months. But the problem still persists. It is really causing trouble and I pray this to go away.
Any chances with Zandu pancharisht
Look forward to your advice.
I don’t think Pancharishta can benefit in such case alone. You also require other remedies. Some of them are licorice, Lasunadi vati, dhanjaya vati, Arogyavardhini vati etc. I suggest you to consult nearby ayurvedic doctor.
Sir, I am 26 years old. I am getting burps from past 2 months, which are strange; I get these all the times and more after meals and diagnosed with GERD. Also, I feel heaviness in head.

1. Fennel Seeds (Saunf) = 60 grams
2. Coriander Seeds or dried leaves powder = 40 grams
3. Celery Seeds (Ajmoda) = 10 grams
4. Dried Ginger (Sonth) = 5 grams

I have been using Zandu Pancharishta since one and half month two times daily regularly. Yesterday I checked my blood sugar level, which was 102 in fasting and 167 after taking food of two hours.

How many days the blood sugar affected by zandu pancharist after leaving it because I wanted to recheck my blood sugar level.
The recommended dosage of Pancharishta contains less amount of sugar. According to clinical dietetics, one serving of foods that contains less than 15 grams sugar content are not likely to affect blood sugar level.
According to this concept, Pancharishta may not affect your blood sugar level in the recommended dosage (10 ml or 2 tsp.).
I am pregnant and suffering gas problems. Can I take zandhu pancharist?
It is not advisable.
Sir, I would like to know, can we use this 2 table spoon with water empty stomach.

I had undergone operation for removal of oesophagus due to cancer in 2012. Some portion of the stomach has also been cut. Since then I m leading a normal life. All my reports are normal. However many a time I get indigestion associated with bloating quickly which continues for many days despite taking light food & Digene. Also if I eat oily food , non home cooked food or little overeating result in loose motion which continues for a month or so. Somehow loose motion has been controlled by homeopathy medicine for 3-4 months. I also had treatment for ulcers in stomach 2 years back.
Considering all above do you recommend me to take Zandu Pancharisht .
