Vidangarishta Benefits
Vidangarishta is an Ayurvedic medicine used in the treatment of intestinal and rectal disorders like an abscess, and fistula. It is also used for treating urinary complaints like renal stone, and urinary infections. It is a liquid medicine containing 5 to 10% of self-generated alcohol. This natural alcohol and the water present in this medication act as a media to deliver alcohol and water soluble herbal components to the body. Vidangarishta is also called Vidangarishtam, Vidangarisht, and Vidangarista.
Vidangarishta can be used to treat Fistula-in-Ano. An anal fistula is a common condition affecting the anus and is characterized by the formation of a small channel between the skin near the anus and the end of the bowel. The common symptoms of this condition include bleeding and discharge while passing stools along with severe pain. Vidangarishta can help to reduce the symptoms of anal fistula and also prevent the recurrence of the condition.

Patients should take Vidangarishta in a dose of 12 ml diluted in an equal quantity of warm water, twice a day. The dose can be increased to 24 ml, two to three times a day, in case the symptoms are severe. The doses should be taken after food to avoid gastric irritation. If patients are using any other medicine, they should keep a gap of half an hour between the intake of Vidangarishta and other medicines.
