  1. Can this be taken with Naladadi Ghritam, in emty stomach? My doctor has prescribed me Naladadi Ghritam in th morning, in emty stomach.
    Also having productive Cough for long time, due to pollution, for which he prescribed Mridwikadi Leham, twice after food.
    I wish to have some snehakarma, for this lengthy cough symptom. I usually do vomiting, after having two glasses of water in the morning. After which feel much better. Is this one type of panchakarma?
    Will Maha Panchagavya Ghrita, be best suitable for this pollution cure? I am kapha-pitta type.

  4. Dear Doctor, what effect has the panchagavya grita has on cancer patients and can a healthy person also consume this preparation on regular basis and if so for what purpose and period. Please let me know and thanks in advance.

    • Panchagavya ghrita along with metallic preparations such as Nityananda rasa etc are widely used in cancer treatment.
      Helthy people can take this – just 5 drops per day for 4 – 6 weeks and stop it. No need to continue it for a long period of time.
