FAQs

How much should I take for digestive issues?

Start with 1/2 teaspoon after meals. The effects are cumulative - regular small amounts work better than occasional large doses.

Is this similar to jeera water?  

It's the evolved version - all the benefits of jeera water, plus additional digestive spices, in a convenient paste form that's ready to use.

Can children consume this? 

Yes, but start with very small amounts (1/4 tsp) and monitor their response. The spices are natural but may be strong for young children.

How long does it take to see digestive benefits?  

Many users feel relief from bloating and heaviness immediately. For chronic digestive issues, regular use for 2-3 weeks shows significant improvement.

Can I cook with it or will heat destroy the benefits? 

The spices are already roasted and processed, so light cooking won't significantly reduce benefits. Add toward the end of cooking for best results.

Is it too spicy for sensitive stomachs? 

The formulation is deliberately balanced - enough spice to be effective but gentle enough for regular use. Those with very sensitive systems should start with tiny amounts.
