Garbharaksha kashayam is an Ayurvedic medicine for controlling and regulating vaata, especially in pregnancy. As the name suggests, it is used as a protective measure during pregnancy.
This yogam is specially made by traditional Kerala vaidyas.
Benefits of Garbharaksha kashayam
It is very effective in nausea, vomiting, hiccups, cough, cold and respiratory tract diseases in pregnancy, especially when the patient is physically weak. It is also used as a supplement during the pregnancy period.
It regulates Vaata kopa in the body. Helps in curing indigestion, anaemia, urinary tract infection, and abdominal pain.
Being helpful in the proper movement of Vaata, who is the controller and all movements in the body, this kashaya helps the person to gain strength and ojas.
Vaatanulomyam (regulating the movements of Vaata) makes the cough and breathing difficulties get relieved without being much soshana/apatarpana(causing weakness/emaciation).
