Buttermilk in Grahani

तक्रग्रहणीचिकित्सा

The text devotes special attention to the use of buttermilk in treating Grahani (irritable bowel syndrome/sprue). A specific Takra Kalpana (buttermilk regimen) is described where the patient subsists primarily on buttermilk mixed with rock salt and roasted cumin for a prescribed period. This treatment is considered highly effective for chronic Grahani, Atisara (diarrhea), Mandagni (weak digestion), and Ama-related conditions. Medicated buttermilk prepared with specific herbs like Panchakola (five pungent herbs) or Trikatu is even more effective. The text states that there is no better medicine than Takra for Grahani Roga. Verses 8-12.
