Baidyanath Vishamjwarantak (visham jwarantak) Lauh Putapakwa with Gold Tablet - for Malaria and Recurring Fever

What Is Vishamjwarantak Lauh?

Baidyanath Visham Jwarantak Lauha is a small tablet, made from cleaned metals and minerals. It is meant for a fever that will not stay away, malaria among them. The usual fever tablet stops helping. The temperature settles, then climbs back. That is the point where this one is reached for.

Count how many times it goes near fire. The iron and the other metals are never used as they are. First they are cleaned. Then they are ground with plant juices, pressed into small clay cakes, and placed in the furnace. Once cool, the cakes are broken, the powder is ground again, packed again, fired again. This goes on for many rounds. By the end the hard metal has become a soft ash. So fine the body soaks it up like food. All that grinding and firing is also why the dose stays so small. The word putapakwa in the name just means it was made this way. Baked in sealed clay, put through fire over and over, not simply mixed together cold.

A few other fever tablets do similar work, each for a different stage. Tribhuvan Kirti Ras suits a new fever, the kind with chills and body ache. Jaimangal Ras is kept for an old fever that won't go, and for the weakness it leaves. Sarva Jwarhar Lauh handles a long fever, one that has run so long the blood has gone thin.

Visham Jwarantak Lauha Uses: How It Helps in Malaria and Recurring Fever

• Fever that keeps a timetable. It comes back every second, third or fourth day, mostly at the same hour. This is its main ground.
• Malaria fever. The cold shivering hits first, and the heat comes after.
• A high fever drains the body fast. This holds the strength up while the fever runs, so the person is not starting from zero.
• It also keeps a feverish patient clear-headed, instead of letting them sink into a daze.

How to Take It: Dose and Timing

The usual dose of visham jwarantak lauh is half a tablet to a full one, taken with a little honey. Children get about a quarter of that. Timing matters more here than with a normal fever tablet. The FAQ below explains how to time it against a fever that keeps coming back.

Is It Safe? Side Effects You Should Know

At the right dose, vishamjwarantak lauh rarely causes trouble. But it holds strong minerals. When problems do show up, the cause is almost always misuse. Too many tablets. Or a course carried on longer than it needed to be. So take it under a qualified Ayurvedic doctor, who can fix the right dose and the right length for the fever you have.

Vishamjwarantak Lauh Ingredients: What Goes Into Each Tablet

Each 250 mg tablet carries:

• Lauh Bhasma (calcined iron ash), Tamra Bhasma (calcined copper ash) and Abhrak Bhasma (calcined mica ash), 23.8 mg each
• Shuddha Parad (purified mercury) and Shuddha Gandhak (purified sulphur), 11.9 mg each
• Vang Bhasma (calcined tin ash), Prawal Bhasma (calcined coral ash) and Shuddha Swarna Gairik (purified red ochre), 5.95 mg each
• Swarna Bhasma (calcined gold ash), Mukta Bhasma (calcined pearl ash), Shankh Bhasma (calcined conch ash) and Shukti Bhasma (calcined oyster-shell ash), 2.98 mg each

The rest of the weight is the plant juices and binding material used while the tablet is shaped.

What Else Visham Jwarantak Lauh Helps With

Fever is not the only thing it helps with. Vishamjwarantak Loha is also given when a long illness has left the spleen or liver bigger than normal. Or when the blood has gone weak, and the person stays pale and tired. It is used in jaundice too. In a cough that comes with hard breathing. In a heavy, gassy stomach that comes from poor digestion. It also settles loose motions that run with the fever, and a burning feeling while passing urine. And when the gut is slow and the belly stays full of sticky, undigested waste, this helps there as well.

How It Is Packed and Made

The tablets come in a small amber glass bottle, packed inside a printed carton. It is a licensed Ayurvedic medicine. Shree Baidyanath Ayurved Bhawan Pvt. Ltd. makes it at their Naini, Allahabad unit, under Mfg. Lic. No. A-393/79.

How Many Tablets Come in a Pack

One pack holds 10 tablets. Vishamjwarantak vati comes in this single size. The making date and expiry are printed on the bottle label.

Precautions Before You Start

Keep the bottle tightly shut. A cool dry spot, away from the sun, out of children's reach. Don't move the tablets into another container. Mineral tablets pull in moisture and spoil fast. Check the seal and the expiry before the first dose. And during the fever itself, take it easy — no midday sleep, no cold baths, no oil massage or heavy work until the temperature has settled.

Diet Tips and Who Should Avoid It

What to Eat

While the fever is up, keep the stomach light. Warm water, lemon water, thin sabudana, puffed rice and barley water are good. Soft fruit helps too: pomegranate, sweet lime, orange. If the bowels feel blocked, a little grape juice or raisin water. Once the fever drops, a plain wheat phulka and some milk to build the strength back.

What Not to Eat

Heavy, rich meals. Curd. Anything made with besan. Keep all of it off the plate until the fever has cleared.

Who Should Not Take It

Pregnant and nursing women should not take it. Neither should anyone with weak kidneys or a damaged liver. And a child must never be handed the adult-strength dose.

Concerns It Can Help With

The shivering that comes just before the heat. A heavy pull under the left ribs. A cough that fights for breath. The loose motions that show up when the fever does.
