Directions for Use
Traditional preparation (with honey):
Mix ½–1 teaspoon of Sitopaladi Churna with an equal amount of raw honey to form a thick paste. Place a small amount on the tongue and allow it to slowly dissolve before swallowing. Continue taking small amounts in this way until the full dose has been consumed. Traditionally, honey is regarded as the preferred Anupana (carrier) for this formula. This preparation may be enjoyed up to 3–5 times daily, according to individual needs. Do not give honey to children under 12 months of age due to the risk of infant botulism.
With warm water:
If you prefer not to use honey on a given occasion, stir ½–1 teaspoon of Sitopaladi Churna into a small glass of warm water and drink slowly.
With warm milk:
Stir ½–1 teaspoon into warm dairy or plant-based milk with a small amount of Stingless Bee Honey, if desired.
Seasonal use:
Traditionally used during seasonal transitions, particularly autumn and winter.
Honey on its own:
Enjoy Stingless Bee Honey directly by the spoonful, or stirred into other foods and drinks, separately from the Churna.
Safety: Do not use honey for children under 12 months, due to the risk of infant botulism. For children over 12 months, it's best to check with your doctor or an Ayurvedic practitioner for age-appropriate guidance before giving this formula to a child, rather than relying on a general amount here. If you're pregnant, breastfeeding, or managing diabetes, it's worth checking with your doctor first (this formula contains Rock Sugar, and honey is also a source of natural sugars). If you have a Pitta-dominant constitution, you may prefer to use a smaller amount, as Pippali and Cinnamon are traditionally considered warming. This is a traditional seasonal wellness product intended for everyday comfort, not a treatment for any specific condition, if you have ongoing symptoms you're concerned about, it's best to check in with your doctor.
