Shankh Vati

"Ek tablet, turant aaram" — One tablet, instant relief. Acidity doesn't wait, and neither should relief. Shankh Vati is Ayurveda's fast-acting answer to that burning, bloated, "I ate too much" feeling — buffering acid almost on contact, while gently reigniting digestion so the problem doesn't just come right back. Nature's antacid, without the chemical aftertaste. Dosha Suitability : Pacifies Pitta dosha by neutralizing excess acid, while also offering mild support for Vata-related gas. Reason to Use / How It Works The defining ingredient here is Shankha Bhasma — purified conch shell ash, which is calcium-carbonate-rich and acts as a fast, natural antacid, buffering excess stomach acid almost immediately upon ingestion. This is paired with Hingu and Trikatu, which reignite digestive fire (Agni) so that the underlying sluggish digestion causing the acidity is also addressed, not just the symptom of excess acid. This dual action — immediate acid-buffering plus digestive correction — is why Shankh Vati is reached for specifically when a patient needs quick relief from acidity, gas, or a bloated, heavy stomach after a heavy meal, rather than for chronic, deep-seated Pitta disorders (where Avipattikar Churna would be more appropriate). Because the formula includes salts (Panch Lavana), it's generally used for shorter, defined courses with attention to blood pressure in sensitive individuals. Dosage Take 1–2 tablets, 1–2 times daily, before or after meals, preferably with lukewarm water, or as directed by a physician. Safety Precautions Contains processed minerals and salts — individuals with high blood pressure should consult a physician before use Not recommended during pregnancy or breastfeeding without medical supervision Best used for a defined course (1–2 months) with a physician check-in, not indefinitely Storage Instructions Store in a cool, dry place, away from direct sunlight and moisture. Keep the container tightly closed after use. Keep out of reach and sight of children.
