🌿 Ayurvedic Herb Dosage Calculator
Calculate safe, personalised Ayurvedic herb dosages based on your body weight, age, health goal, and preferred form (powder, extract, or capsule). Includes contraindications and drug interaction warnings.
⚠️ Read Before Use: This calculator provides general reference dosages based on classical Ayurvedic texts and modern research. Always consult a qualified Ayurvedic physician (Vaidya) or doctor before starting any herbal supplement, especially if you have a medical condition or are on medication.
🚨 Critical Medical Disclaimer:
1. Not Medical Advice: This calculator provides general reference dosages based on classical Ayurvedic pharmacopoeia (API), Charaka Samhita, Ashtanga Hridayam, and published clinical research. It is NOT a substitute for consultation with a qualified Ayurvedic physician (Vaidya) or medical doctor.
2. Individual Variation: Optimal herb dosage varies significantly based on individual constitution (Prakriti), current imbalance (Vikriti), digestive strength (Agni), and concurrent medications. A qualified practitioner assesses all these factors.
3. Drug Interactions: Many Ayurvedic herbs interact with prescription medications. Ashwagandha interacts with thyroid medications and immunosuppressants. Turmeric interacts with blood thinners. Licorice raises blood pressure. Always inform your doctor about herbal supplements.
4. Pregnancy & Children: Most Ayurvedic herbs are NOT recommended during pregnancy without explicit medical supervision. Children require significantly reduced doses and professional guidance.
5. Quality Matters: Herb potency varies significantly by source, processing, and standardisation. Dosages assume good-quality, properly processed herbs. Adulterated or low-quality herbs may be ineffective or harmful.
6. Heavy Metal Risk: Some traditional Ayurvedic formulations contain heavy metals (Rasa Shastra). This calculator covers only plant-based herbs. Always purchase from AYUSH-certified manufacturers.
