  1. I used to take Abhayarishtam along with Dasamoola kaduthrayam(DMK) from AVP. I started around Dec 2012 in India. I also used to take some vyoshadi vatakam. As you can see it was for stomach ailments along with breathing issues (sinus etc). So I used to take pre-prepared mix of Abhaya and DMK. SInce I had to leave for the USA I bough extra bottles of these separately.For whatever reason, for one month I felt extremely great full of energy(using pre-prepared medication).I even lost weight. Then I mixed these in equal quantities and used them.For some reason they did not work well again for me.
    Reason i mention the pre-prepared decoction might have nothing to do with it…or everything to do with it…or does efficacy of medication reduce with flight travel or due to cold weather? But ultimately my bowel issues are back so also my sinus issues.
    What could have caused it to work well initially and then not work?

    • Hello Adam, It helps to some extent to improve nutrient absorption and for better formation of stools. But this can not be said as a standalone medicine for Coeliac disease. A combination of Ayurvedic medicine often leads to successful treatment.

  27. Friends ultimate solution to piles/hemorrhoids and related problems…simply apply good quality coconut oil in anus after evacuation for three consecutive days and see the result. Earlier I used Himalaya and other alopathic ointments and Abhayarishtam and homeopathy medicines for couple of years but every time I discontinued those the problems like burning, bleeding and stinging pain came back. Sometime ago while glancing through online write-ups regarding piles I came across one suggesting to use coconut oil. First I did not believe it. Then I thought trying the coconut oil. Results were beyond my imagination: no pain, no bleeding and no burning. Now I can sit at one place and drive for hours. I apply coconut oil (Patanjali) only once a day and am no longer taking any medicines. I think home cooked coconut oil would be more effective. Just try this!!!
