Shankh Vati (or Shankh Bati) is an Ayurvedic herbomineral medicine primarily used to manage digestive disorders.
Its main uses and benefits include:
- Indigestion and Dyspepsia: Helps improve digestion and the breakdown of food.
- Acidity and Gastritis: Known for its antacid and cooling properties, providing relief from heartburn and a burning sensation in the stomach.
- Bloating and Gas: Acts as a carminative to help relieve abdominal distension, excessive gas, flatulence, and trapped wind.
- Abdominal/Colic Pain: Helps alleviate severe abdominal pain or spasms caused by digestive issues.
- Anorexia: Helps to improve appetite and the body's ability to absorb nutrition.
- Nausea and Vomiting: Can help resolve general stomach-related problems including nausea and vomiting.
Shankh Vati works by increasing the "digestive fire" (Agni in Ayurveda) and helping to balance the Vata and Pitta doshas in the body. It is often recommended after a heavy meal to ease the feeling of fullness and discomfort
