Indications or Recommendations

Sheth Brothers formulated and blended a mixture of few ayurvedic herbs to the powder known as Kayam Churna. Kayam Churna is effectively beneficial for treating chronic constipation and associated digestive problems. In India, many people take this moderate laxative and strong purgative mixture on a regular basis. This habit may be due to its frequent advertisement and easy availability. These properties help us to the evacuation of the bowels and gradually work in our body. Interesting how the name is “Kayam Churna” right? It’s like the manufacturer knew that there’s going to be dependency and made a joke out of it in the name. Btw ‘Kayam’ means ‘perpetual/never-ending’ in Gujarati.

Hi, in your case, the cause for constipation is Vata dosha aggravation due to night shift work. Hence, Vata balancing measures will be useful to make Vata dosha to flow in the normal downward movement and thus relieving constipation. Taking laxatives might give only temporary relief. In the case of pregnancy, this Churna is not recommended unless prescribed by the medical consultant/doctor.

Some claims that its Svarjiksara content can decrease the sperm count and its quality if used for the long term. Therefore, avoid it if you are young and planning for marriage or undergoing treatment of infertility.
