Regular intake of Shallaki treats constipation and rectal bleeding.
Relieves Arthritis:
According to Ayurveda, rheumatoid arthritis and other bone disorders result from Amavata. Amavata is caused due to significant accumulation of Ama – the toxic remains in the body caused due to lack of proper digestion and Vata dosha. In patients suffering from Ama, the toxic elements accumulate in the joints. The Vata balancing properties of Shallaki reduce Ama and bring down the swelling in the joints. Mix Shallaki powder in coconut oil and apply it topically on the affected joints for instant relief.
Prevents Asthma Attacks:
Asthma is a chronic respiratory ailment, and asthmatic patients are at significant risk of sudden attacks that trouble their breathing. Asthma is caused due to Vata and Kapha doshas, causing severe obstruction in the airways. Asthma, if not treated properly, can result in difficulty breathing, shortness of breath, and a great inconvenience. Intake of Shallaki in the form of tablets, capsules, or inhaling it eliminates chest congestion, thus providing instant relief.
