Is weight gain a side effect when sowbhagya shunti is consumed? i want to know whether it relieves gas and constipation problems in the post natal period?
Sowbhagya shunti does not cause weight gain in post-partum period. Though it contains milk, ghee etc, the ingredients like Musta (Cyperus), ginger, Coriander seed etc overcome the nourishing effect. It helps to relieve gas and constipation in post natal period.
