Godanti Hartal Bhasma is a traditional Ayurvedic medicine prepared from purified gypsum (Godanti) and sometimes processed with Hartal (orpiment). It is primarily known for its antipyretic (fever-reducing) and anti-inflammatory properties, often compared to paracetamol for its quick action in lowering body temperature.
Key Uses and Benefits
Godanti Hartal Bhasma is indicated for a variety of health conditions in traditional Ayurvedic practice:
- Fever Management: Its most prominent use is in treating acute and chronic fevers, including those associated with typhoid, malaria (as an adjuvant), and viral infections. It helps manage symptoms like headache, burning sensation, excessive thirst, and body pain.
- Respiratory Health: It is used to manage coughs, colds, asthma, and other respiratory discomforts.
- Digestive and Inflammatory Conditions: It may help support digestive function, alleviate issues like bloating and constipation, and manage systemic inflammation.
- Women's Health: It is traditionally used in the treatment of conditions like leucorrhea (vaginal discharge), backache, and heavy menstruation.
- Bone Health: As a natural calcium supplement derived from gypsum, it can help support strong bones and joints.
