Jeerakarishtam Benefits & Medicinal Uses
Jeerakarishtam is a digestive tonic for all and uterine tonic and detoxifier for women. Some of its benefits are as follows.
Postpartum Fever
Dashmularishta (Dasamoolarishtam) is the main medicine for postpartum fever and infections, but it is contraindicated when a woman has heartburn, burning sensation, heat sensation in hands and feet, and other Pitta symptoms. If the patient has Pitta symptoms, then Jeerakarishtam is a good choice for her. However, it works well if fever is low-grade and develops into a chronic disease/infection. In acute cases, it may not be beneficial. In chronic cases, many women have complaints of laziness, malaise, stiffness, diarrhea, abdominal pain, excessive thirst etc., and then it is highly recommendable along with other medicines as recommended by a physician.
Postpartum Debility
Like Dashmularishta, Jirakadyarishtam is also beneficial for increasing the strength and reducing the debility and physical exhaustion after the delivery. It supports joints and muscles, reduces stress and pain, and improves the feeling of general well-being.
Diarrhea
Jeerakarishtam works well in diarrhea accompanies with heat sensation, burning sensation, stools with mucus content, and foul smelly stools. Along with Kutajadi Vati or Kutajghan Vati, it gives good results.

Loss of Appetite
Jeerakarishtam has an appetizer and digestive stimulant action, which helps to improves the appetite and increases the bioavailability of nutrients from the food by enhancing digestive capacity and absorption.
