Dont youtubers Consult ayurveda doctor

Don't take shilajit for livercirro

Mam I am not sure whom you are consulting,but please stop taking shilajit immediately as it is not indicated for you, especially with cirrhosis of liver. Just take bhumyamalaki ghanvati along with patolakaturohinyadi kashayam and follow HAIP DIET based on the anti-inflammatory principles of Ayurveda.  You can take trinapanchamoola kashaya to manage your bp but this has to be done under guidance.  Dont depend on vague suggestions for your condition please. They don't know what they are prescribing and so they just suggest without doing root cause analysis.  You have a pitta vata imbalance which can be corrected with right diet and basic herbs.

Not advisable??

Namaste, At 70 years, with early-stage liver cirrhosis, hypertension, and diabetes, caution is wise. 🔹 Shilajit Safety – Key Points: Yes, pure, lab-tested Shilajit is generally safe short-term It may slightly lower BP, so monitor regularly Heavy metal risk exists if it's not from a reputed, quality-controlled brand ✅ Your Case: Half spoon daily for 15 days is unlikely to cause toxicity if it’s purified Prefer capsule form from trusted brands (like Dabur, Patanjali, Baidyanath, or Himalaya) for dose precision and safety Take after food, not on empty stomach ❗ Recommendation: Avoid unlabelled Shilajit powders Use only purified, doctor-approved product Monitor BP during use Consult your Ayurvedic doctor if unsure about brand/source

Genuine Shilajitu is semisolid in consistency and have the smell of cows urine. Better to avoid powder form ofShilajiu. Other wise it is a good rejuvenating medicine,especially in Diabetics. It is not a liver toxic medicine.

It's not advisable and you need regular check up for this condition
