Avipatikar Churan – Ayurvedic Digestive Churan – Avipattikar – Avipatikar Churna – Herbal Churan by IndianJadiBooti

In the profound world of Kayachikitsa (Internal Medicine), Avipattikar Churna is the crown jewel for managing Pitta. While many modern antacids simply suppress stomach acid, Avipattikar works by "cooling the fire" and redirecting the excess heat downward through the digestive tract.

How to Use Avipattikar Churna

The timing and the "vehicle" (Anupana) are vital because this Churna contains a significant amount of Nishoth (Indian Jalap), which has a mild laxative effect to flush out excess bile.

1. For Severe Acidity & Heartburn (Amlapitta)

• Dosage: 3g to 6g (approx. 1 to 1.5 teaspoons).
• Vehicle: Cold Water or Coconut Water.
• Timing: Take it before meals (preferably 20 minutes before) to create a protective alkaline buffer in the stomach.

2. For Chronic Constipation with Heat

If you feel "hot" in the stomach and have hard stools.

• Dosage: 5g to 6g.
• Vehicle: Warm Water.
• Timing: At bedtime. This allows the herbs to work overnight to clear the gallbladder and colon.

3. For Indigestion & Lack of Appetite

• Dosage: 2g to 3g.
• Vehicle: Mix with Honey or Ghee.
• Timing: Immediately after meals to help "cook" the food without increasing acidity.

4. For Urinary Burning or Kidney Heat

• Dosage: 3g.
• Vehicle: Fresh Buttermilk (Chaas) or Cane Sugar water.
• Timing: Twice daily.

In the profound world of Kayachikitsa (Internal Medicine), Avipattikar Churna is the premier "Fire Extinguisher." While modern antacids merely mask symptoms, Avipattikar targets the root of Amlapitta (hyperacidity) by neutralizing excess acid and redirecting the "aggravated heat" downward for elimination.

As your Ayurveda consultant, I view this formula as a masterful blend of 14 ingredients, where the heat of Trikatu (spices) is used to digest toxins, while the cooling power of Amala and the cleansing action of Nishoth clear the systemic burn.

The Benefits of Avipattikar Churna

1. Superior Relief for Hyperacidity & GERD

It is the gold standard for treating "sour stomach."

• Benefit: It provides rapid relief from heartburn, sour belching, and a burning sensation in the throat or chest. It alkalizes the digestive tract without shutting down the digestive fire (Agni).

2. Bile Regulation & Liver Detox

• Benefit: It helps the liver and gallbladder function efficiently. It is excellent for those who experience nausea, a bitter taste in the mouth, or "bilious" headaches (migraines caused by heat).

3. Gentle Purgation (Mridu Virechana)

Unlike harsh laxatives, Avipattikar is a "purgative-rejuvenator."

• Benefit: It clears the colon of accumulated Pitta toxins. It is highly effective for chronic constipation where the stools are hard and "dry" due to internal heat.

4. Kidney and Urinary Support

• Benefit: Because it flushes out toxins and reduces systemic acidity, it often helps relieve burning sensations during urination and helps prevent the formation of certain types of kidney stones.

5. Appetite Restoration

• Benefit: By clearing the "sludge" (Ama) from the stomach lining, it restores the natural desire for food and ensures that what you eat is absorbed without causing bloating or heaviness.
