  1. what is the usual duration of a general anti-aging treatment with s. makardhwaj ?

    how many weeks / months ?

    • Because it contains heavy metal ingredients, it should be taken only if your Ayurvedic doctor has prescribed it to you.
      It should be avoided during pregnancy and lactation. Other side effects are explained in the article itself. Please go through (see above).

  3. What is the difference between Siddha Makardhwaj and Makardhwaj? And are they prescribed for different problems. Are their effects the same?

    Reply
    • Effect is quite similar, though Siddha Makaradhwaj is slightly more effective.
      The ingredients are same but the amount of Swarna Bhasma is four times more in Siddha Makaradhwaj than plain makaradhwaj.

  8. My ayurvedacharya advised me to take this product lifelong (half a tablet a day with honey) for better fitness as I am also an active sportsperson. I am now 50. Is it okay if I take this dosage lifelong as a prophylactic as I have noticed brilliant results in the form of improved fitness and greater stamina with improved concentration levels to go with it. Please do advise……….:)

  17. as I heard about this product decades ago and wondered how it is someone could ingest mercury and suffer no ill effects, I am glad to see you consistently refer people to see a doctor, in person, when seeking treatment with this medication. do you know any doctors in the Nebraska area who are familiar with this medicine?

    Reply
    • Ayurvedic text books explain in detail about ill effects of Mercury poisoning. The books also have purification procedures for mercury are also explained. These processes are done to ensure to nullify the side effects of mercury. The modern science is yet to wake up to this fact.
      I do not have any contact with Ayurveda specialist in Nebraska. But I know a few in Ca, Florida, Maryland, NJ, NY and Pennsylvania. Let me know if you are interested in any of these?

  19. Recently my 4th visit to Arya Vaid Sala clinic, doctor prescribed Siddha Makardhwaj & Vasant Kusumakar Ras though I have used it for 3 months. I asked him whether it can be used more than 3 months as these contain heavy metals. He suggested that if the bhasmas are made purified properly during bhasma making process & are taken in prescribed doses of 1 to 2 capsule max, then proper absorption is made by body & it can be taken throughout life without any toxicity. But slight impurity can cause toxicity & will be very harmful to body.
    Is he right as you have told that these medicines can be taken in a maximum of 2 months?.

    Reply
    • Dear sir,
      With with due respect, its mentioned in this topic that these heavy metal medicines should be taken not more than 2 months & now you are saying it can be taken throughout life in prescribed doses.
      So how should one take these medicines?
