Sanskrit Name: Lavan Bhaskar Churna
Devanagari Name: लवण भास्कर चूर्ण
English Name: Salt Powder Mix
Description:
Lavan Bhaskar Churna is an Ayurvedic remedy designed to alleviate symptoms associated with gastric issues such as loss of appetite, indigestion, and constipation. The term “Lavan” derives from Sanskrit, meaning ‘salt,’ as its key components include Sochal and black salt.
Ayurveda suggests that these gastric problems often stem from poor dietary habits and lifestyle choices, resulting in digestive dysfunction and the accumulation of Ama (toxic substances from improper digestion). This formulation aids in restoring proper digestion due to its properties as a Deepan (appetizer) and Pachan (digestive aid).
To help with indigestion and bloating, Lavan Bhaskar Churna can be taken with lukewarm water 30 minutes prior to meals. It can also be ingested post-meal with buttermilk. Individuals with high blood pressure should seek medical advice before using Lavan Bhaskar Churna due to its elevated salt content.
